Jet America Airlines To Fly For 9 Dollar Tickets

Newark to Toledo, you'd have to pay me to take that flight. It's also only the first 9 seats. It's all marketing. Of course South West is doing some pretty good deals right now for post Labor Day travel. Some flights as low as $30.00. Get ready for another round of airline bankruptcies.

BH: (I think my numbers are correct for the time period I mention. I chose calendar months Jan.-Sept. because the tax hike started Oct 1.)

SN: It was actually down 7.02% for fiscal year 2009 from fiscal year 2008.

BH: (Ouch!) Is your fiscal year Oct to Oct? Sonny M. was quoted at 8% in the SUN.)

SN: Not too far off the mark when compared to FY 2007, though.

BH: (So we got that going for us.)

SN: And, it's far too early to tell, but things **may** be starting to look up. ;-)

BH: (I Know everyone hopes you are right on that.)
