Airline shutdowns

[DWCAP]

Aloha was hurting for a while. GO airlines really ate their lunch in interisland travel.
ATA I have no idea, but I am guessing they couldnt stand the gas.
Frontier Airlines is using bankruptcy to renegociate with lenders and credit card companies, they say they will come out just fine. We will see.
Everybody else is just too small to stand the heat of gas and competion. There was an article today about how some are speculating that we will emerge with 3-4 superairlines instead of 7 large airlines and a whole bunch of little upstarts.

Expect alot of layoffs in the next few years, and I wouldnt be suprised to see some of the pensions get offloaded to the Gov if they havnt already. It is fly cheap or die and labor is still the biggest single expense of the airline industry. That being said, Southwest isnt much of a bargin anymore. I use to fly them alot cause they were cheap. Now, I can usually fly some big name carrier instead at equal or cheaper price.

We just returned this morning from Oahu. There was a Mother of two with her husband stranded from Bad ATA tickets and the airline was paying for them to stay an extra 5 days. That doesn’t sound to bad to me? Hawaiian airlines was asking people to give up ticket for stranded flyers to get home…I think Hawaiian and others are over booked and putting alot of stress on their employees!

Your basic airline ticket’s price is 40% fuel cost. The biggest reason stated was fuel prices. At least with three of them. Should be interesting to see what it is like when oil is $200 and $300. Get your travel in while it’s cheap folks because it’s only going up.

Looks like Airlines will be the 1st victim of Peak Oil. Though as many of you stated is not a big issue.

This was not about oil. It was about airlines managements doing nothing for 18 months to comply with FAA regulations on maintenance. They got scared after Southwest got fined by FAA.

More than oil, it has to do with incompetence and lack of responsibility towards shareholders.
