We have pasted the halfway ponit on available oil in the world. If this is true there is no way oil prices will decrease. Americans in general need to have a reality check on what the cost of fuel is going to be in the very near future.
If you and I know this why is our industry so shy when it comes to increasing the cost of flying from point A to B?
The Cruise industry began increasing the cost of a cruise by about $50 per person and while on a recient cruise I didn't hear one person complain about it.
With regard to the goverment getting involved, I cringe at the thought. I still have a picture of the most poweful leader in the world asking the Arabs to increase production in the hope of lowering oil prices. Have we resorted to begiging by our leaders to acheive something that is inevitable.
