I'm there already and under the waves for being a bit "early", but calling the perfect timing isn't easy and most of the airlines are walking wounded in any event.

Some already in chapter 11 will soon emerge, minus their heavy debts (which of course will provide the coup de grace for their current publicly traded toilet tissue). And those that survive without a trip through the bankruptcy courts will be hobbled with the need to service those unholy mountains of debt, which translates to continuing losses and falling share prices. Knives sticking out all over the place.

It now takes 2 hours to clear customs, immigration, thermal imaging cameras (SARS) and security at most international airports, and the public is deciding it really doesn't have to travel as much. Got desert parking lot space?

Radar target at this end getting over-burdened with blips, but timing is still everything. Sigh (g)

Best, Earlie
