How Will Rising Fuel Prices Impact Demand for Aircraft? -- Boeing Comments

Good comments. Larger more fuel efficient planes.....hmmmm. That implies only long haul routes will be serviced which is probably likely. Fuel efficient jet planes is an oxymoron. I think the wave of the future even long haul are MUCH SLOWER fuel efficient aircraft, maybe even a return to prop aircraft at least for less affluent travelers. Big aircraft also need big airports. Say goodbye to jet service in small to medium towns. Say good bye to new airport construction. Perhaps new train service could use the empty degrading air terminals but likely not. Most are too far from city centers to have any value.If Boeing is betting its future on big jet aircarft as its only business model, your logical purchase of BOEING stock is a short. They may be able to sell aircraft to KSA, Dubai and the Gulf states for a while, and then what?
