That loss in business travel is more than enough to put one or two

majors
out of business. They have only themselves to blame due to the fact

they
ripped and continue to rip off the business traveler which for years has
paid top dollar for a seat.


First, the "business traveler" typically fly's on one or two days
notice...that's why they spend more.


That makes absolutely no sense. The airlines have used it as an excuse to
rip off the business travler for years.

Second, alternatives have been available for years...and only very SLOWLY

do
businesses adopt them.


Yep. Most businesses have drastically cut airline travel and now airlines
can't make money even with every seat filled.

Hell, years ago the bitch was the delays and rigid schedules of the
airlines. Many people used GA and charter, but I guess most businesses

just
continued to gripe, just like they do about bad employees, foreign
competitors, regulation (that they often asked for), etc., etc.,...

United Stews just voted in favor of a strike and are pushing for chaos
strikes. If it happens it will probably be the end of United.
