Yeah, the economy is cyclical and the age 65 bubble will pop in 2012...there are actually quite a few old guys out there.

The one wild card is oil prices...if that goes out of control, the airline industry is done.

Also the hard-core global warming crowd believes that airliners are one of the major causes...if they get their way we will all be shut down. They will come straight out and tell you...flying is an unnecessary luxury. Interstate travel will be tightly controlled, just like the old soviet union where you needed a pass to leave your city. Everyone should stay home and tend to their garden...
