Let's not forget those pilots and other employees at United Express (Atlantic Coast etc.... and Mesa?), who need mainline United to feed them passengers and vice versa.
Many of these folks also have children to feed and shelter-heaven help those who lose group medical insurance.
The govt needs to back off from the very high ticket taxes which are helping to suffocate the airlines. It is reported by our company that 25% of the average AIRLINE ticket price consists of government TAXES, and this does not include all of the taxes for security.
Could it possibly open up some of the (secret) Strategic Fuel Reserves, possibly leading to cheaper fuel in the US?
