At the Washington Post site, I clicked on a political cartoon link making fun of the latest airline pricing fiasco. Turned out there were 127(!) recent cartoons, from all around the country and all on the same subject and, while funny, also depressing when one thinks how much ridicule the airlines are placing on themselves.
Meanwhile, Lufthansa and BA are having banner profits as are other international carriers. Interestingly, among the USA carriers only JB, Alaska and SW are hedging their fuel purchases (advance purchasing to manage fuel costs) while all the legacy carriers are choosing not to. Pricing isn't just about stale sandwiches and carry-on bags.
