SHOULD WE PAY FOR AIRLINE FUEL???
oooohhhhhh....Did I make some of you mad when I said to Phil LeBeau this morning that I understood why airlines wouldn't be dropping their fuel surcharges they had tacked onto plane tickets over the past 9 months to a year now?
Or do we all agree that jet fuel still hasn't come down to levels that would enable the airlines to clip those surcharges off?
With distillates (which include jet fuel) still at levels that crimp profits, the airlines say they won't be changing a thing. In fact, some airline watchers think the carries have finally figured out how to cut down on capacity, fill their planes, trim costs and turn their sector into a viable business!
What do *you* think, Bloggers? Should airlines get rid of their fuel surcharges? More importantly, tell me why. And "because I want a cheaper ticket to Cleveland" doesn't count!
Take care, Bloggers. Enjoy the start of Fall.
