An Open Letter to All Airlines - Quit Whining and Hedge Your Fuel Costs

Mr. Knight,
You may have missed the fact that the "open letter to passengers" was signed by ALL of the U.S. airlines including your beloved Southwest, who in particular will cease to exist if these oil/fuel prices don't come down soon. Southwest's gamble on fuel hedging is now quickly expiring and when these "new" fuel costs kick in, Southwest's budget fliers will not be able to afford the "luxury" of flying. This is critical for ALL the airlines as well as this country. This isn't whining, this is very, very real. You should be very, very afraid for what Wall Street and this Administration are doing to this country and it's "blue collar" citizens.

What's Really Wrong With The Airline Industry - And Can It Be Fixed?

Very well researched and written. I know, I am an airline employee that has been on the losing end of this debacle. Employees will not subsidize airline tickets any further, the passenger will now have to pay for what they get.
