If y'all have been paying attention, United, American Delta and some other airline that probably sucks hiked up their airfare yesterday, today most other domestic u.s. airline followed suit?

And what would have happened if the recent British Airways strike just got worse?

Look at Aer Lingus, they made ?100m profit last year, the best profit for a flag carrier in Europe, and this year they lost money in June! One of the busiest months of the year. They are loosing money on Dublin-Orlando, with 100% loadfactor

I dont think high fares are going to save a carrier, if turning lo-cost does'nt do it.

To be honest, they wouldn't follow suit just because some other airline did that. They would want to run American, United, and Delta out of business on the route.
