Saab. Thanks for the link to that article. It certainly got me down. I've been bumming around watching t.v. ever since, thinking about calling the local college of massage therapy so I could get a "job that pays and helps people" . The one thing that the article oversteps though is that the cost of doing business has really increased since the 70's for the airlines. Fuel costs, and maintenance along with insurance and fees for airport usage must have all increased dramatically since those days.
