outlook is good! or at least we all hope so!

saudi stated that their oil output will be increased in the next few years. granted that doesn't solve our rising fuel cost currently but with more electric and environmental friendly automobiles, yes we should see the oil settle down. it's china eating up all the oil and driving the prices up.

fuel efficient engines such as the one on MRJ which should be in production soon will offset 20-30% of the fuel cost. they're 75-100 seaters I believe so yes it seems like airlines are favoring that seating range. unless you think folks over at mitsubishi and bombardier with their c-series didn't do their homework on the future demands before spending MILLIONs into developing the next gen aircraft.

what that says is the fact that majors will not be growing in the future. most of them are replacing their old a/c. it also means our regional pay will get better. increasing seats for regional and cutting the cost for major salaries, while paying regionals the lower end of the median in comparison to the seats.

as dirty as that sounds, we got some smart people running these airlines. bastards... but smart
