Do you reall y think that there isn't a big crisis on the airlines? You would better read the recent press release below:

"Traffic on U.S. airlines fell 7.1 percent in October compared with a year before, the carriers' weakest October since 2003, government researchers said Thursday.

It marked the eighth straight monthly decline from the year before, and traffic was down 2.6 percent for the year through October.

But airlines also cut the number of flights by 9.6 percent in October, and occupancy on domestic flights hit a record for the month. The average U.S. flight in October was 79.8 percent full, up from 78.5 percent in October 2007."
