>> Are the airlines going to drop the fares to attract business or increase them to make up for lost business? Neither. They're just going to fire all of the travel agents and go direct. Haj has apparently relocated to Missouri and started a new career. Check out her website at haj.com If that doesn't work out, she will become a full time day trader and chat room luminary. I hope she develops improved skills in both areas quickly. cuf

The carriers will definitely try to stimulate travel by dropping fares. There are already some terrific seat sale rates available by select carriers such as Continental. So far nothing official from American, United, Delta etc. but it will come, I'm sure. Here in Canada our national carrier Air Canada has launched a massive seat sale announced yesterday for travel until Feb 28/02. It wouldn't make sense to raise fares right now, since they want to lure travelers back - not scare them away even more. Good luck bargain-hunting! cth@desperatetimescallfordesperatemeasures.com
