Airline revenue down 14 months in a row

I'm posting a news release from the Air Transport Association, the trade group that represents most of the U.S. airlines, that should be read in conjunction with the earnings reports that carriers are issuing this week. American was first up today (see post just below). The airlines, with most except Southwest sampled, reported that their revenue has gone down 14 months in a row compared with the same month a year earlier, because of lower ticket revenue and fewer passengers. Read the ATA's release here.

    That's great, let them keep ripping off their customers and making it harder and less attractive to fly. I no longer fly on any trip I can drive in less than 10 hours. That gets me pretty much everywhere. When they stop abusing their passengers I might fly more. I have over 500,000 miles on American, so I used to fly a lot. No longer. They can all go out of business as far as I'm concerned.
