The VP of flt ops came and talked to our class and regarding the price of oil, he said that as long as
all the airline had to pay the same price for it, they could still be competitive. So I guess it's just a matter of will customers keep buying tickets with this fuel surcharge...
BTW
The FAA's website says they have a plan to start using alternative fuels
