Fuel outdoes labor costs at some airlines

[babypurin]

Flipping normal industry economics upside down, some airlines in the USA are paying more for jet fuel than for the people they employ.

AirTran, America West, JetBlue and US Airways each reported paying more for fuel in the April-June quarter than for labor.

I sy we invade kuwait (sorry for anybody offended) Come on. We save them from an "evil" man 10 years ago and they do what? Raise the oil prices. Damn it, I am too poor to drive now, $2.50 a gallon??? That is an easy $50 a week for me.

Instead of Kuwait, why doesn't the Bush family put more pressure on their Saudi Arabian buddies to increase exports..?

Man I missed the boat on the oil stocks... *kicks himself*

Well, our good commie friends China, the country that supplies Wal-Mart, is sucking up oil...they have a shart load of people and their middle class is starting to grow, hence they have more money to spend..on things that burn gas...so it's all about supply and demand...you want cheap oil prices get rid of the demand (you yanks are good at that )

If the animals in the wildlife refuge have a problem they can write their congressman..

I have an idea....power er' up to the max altitude and let er' glide...power up again...glide!!! whoa!!! Money saver!
