Continental Airline Tickets

Does it worry anyone that....?

Last week, truckers rallied around the capital in Charleston, WV to get help with the gas tax that they are paying. They want the tax relief because of high oil prices. Small airlines Aloha, ATA, Skybus, and Skyway, all stopped their flights. Large airlines American, United, Northwest, Delta, Continental, and US Airways will cumulatively face about $10 billion in additional oil costs in 2008. Some say the small airlines went under because of mismangement, etc. Was it a matter of unfortunate timing or $100 a barrel oil prices? In the long run, what do you think this means for transportation in the US?

1. There will be a railway / subway / tramway boom, like there is already one in Europe and other parts of the World. Maybe also a few more or better waterways. .
2. I myself am a truck driver and yes the prices are out of this world ,,, without truckers the markets don't get their foods.. so what the ppl have to do is join hands with the trucking industries and support them...... it's very hard for a truck driver ..... talk to a few of them ! you'll see it costs over a thousand dollars to fuel up.......
