Europe has much higher fuel prices, and they have airlines running productive businesses.

I think that American companies have taken too many things (like federally subsidized fuel prices) for granted for too long.

It's tough for companies to change quickly for whatever is going on in the world.

Long run for airlines in general doesn't look good though. Prices will only continue to go up and flying with come to be more and more only for the wealthy.
