news was reporting that airlines really have the potential to turn a profit come 2009 with fuel prices at their current levels. But, the mentioned that much of that was as a result of route cutting, and the overwhelmingly full load capacity. Honestly, just as easily as they could now "turn a profit" they could lose it all over again if oil prices spike once again. I don't know if I'd expect to see additional trimming just for the sake of doing so, but, I'd be hard pressed to expect a lot of growth right now....might not be the smartest business move, if there is growth, i'd much rather see it at the top, than at the bottom....
