Where Are You !!?

Sigh.

Yes - we know thatwe have been absent lately. But to tell you the truth - there is not much going on. Check that - there is - but it can all be boiled down to five math equations:

1) The price of oil is very high = Airlines in trouble;

2) Airlines are in trouble = Airlines cutting flights;

3) Airlines cutting flights = Airlines sell less tickets;

4) Airlines sell less tickets = Airlines charging fees;

5) Airlines charging fees = travellers are not happy.

That's really it. So we're not dogging it - we're just not seeing blog-worthy stuff to bore you with besides Carrier A cutting capacity, Carrier B is losing money, Carrier C now charging fees, etc. Sure, there's higher fares and bankruptcy speculation in the mix - but you can read that anywhere.

The only really interesting thing is the whole AA vs. Kayak kerfuffle - but we are putting a 3 week (subject to change without notice) blogging ban on it because we think it will be all resolved by then. Time will tell...
