Yeah that's the real problem...oil may be low today, but the damage has been done. Now that we know that it can go to $150 or higher over a few months, managers will be very cautious about going out on a limb with expansion.

I think it will take either years of stable prices or the commercial implementation of alternative jet fuels to get THIS monkey off of our backs.
