Like many big companies the airlines have seen their highs, but in the airline case, they have seen their all time highs. It is possible that some of them can morph into companies of different industry or of a different means of transportation, but the era of limitless horizon air travel is over. It would have ended soon enough whether the WTC event had occurred or not.

Jay the tab gets bigger and bigger and there is no choice but to bail out companies such as airlines. To me from an accounting aspect doesn't seem like any dollar can be infinite. Debt on top of profit concern prior to the last week The interest rate in 1987 was around 7 percent. Japans were about five so it appears she was far more solvent that she is now. There was also more room to play with interest rates than we have now. This is increased debt no matter who picks it up it not profit especially when you look a the employment reductions that are stating the airline industry itself is projecting less growth. I just hope an economy can be engineered or debt forgiven or some such thing. I just can't see this being like 87 where the crash bounced. Real estate has not dropped here. Do you or anyone know what the US latest unemployment figures are?

I was wondering how long it would take for Air Canada to come crawling. Air Canada asks for $4 billion in aid from Ottawa cbc.ca Air Canada is one of the worst run companies in the world. They need to drastically cut capacity, improve customer service, and raise prices. 4 Billion won't solve its problems. I don't closely follow the US airlines, but looking at Air Canada, I can see your points Ahhaha. My Fiance used to consult for AC, I could not fathom the decisions they were making. She left quickly.
