What happened in 2022 when oil was at 120?

That's a bad take.

Fuel efficiency actually becomes exponentially *more* important as oil prices increase beyond $100, not less important.

The more expensive jet fuel gets, the less newer, fuel efficient aircraft matter? That's really your suggestion for how to run an airline?

United is not going to park a fleet of 94 777s just because oil prices have gone up in the short term.

Truly. Just look at the stock market or contradicting statements from various admin officials or I guess rapid moving target stated goals from the top and basically the world is just like… wow here we are… once again. Let’s see what he say tomorrow or at 10am and 5pm and 2am 🙄
