Comment: What this mindless drivel fails to always address, is the airlines, like the oil industry, posts record profits followed my record losses. I flew RT from Portland to Toronoto for $217, and was one of the last to fly on the morning of 9-11. Long before this day the airlines were hammered running record losses, and cutting fares so deeply we were getting winter rates in Summer. My friends were flying to Europe RT for $500. Everyone complains when oil is $140 and banking record profits, but shuts up when oil is at $40 and sold for a loss. Airlines are no different.
