You may be paying 3x more for fuel in Europe than in the US but European
airlines are not. Mike MU-2 "Peterpan" wrote in message . .. Delta announced today it will lose another 1 Billion dollars in 2005 Most of the US Airlines are losing money due to higher fuel cost's In Europe, airlines are making money and the fuel is 3 times more expensive. I don't get it. Is it some new type of math the US airlines are using or have they become bloated Politically Correct business model disasters due to PC hiring practices and employee perks? Or are they looking for a tax payer bailout for their inefficient business operations? Just curious

If you have ever bought jet fuel in Europe you know that it is generally
cheaper than in the US. It is only Avgas that is more expensive over there. Additionally, airlines on both sides of the Atlantic are not paying FBO prices which are usually marked up about $1 or more. Mike MU-2 "Matt Barrow" wrote in message ...
