One airline may weather the fuel crisis better than most: Southwest. The low-cost, no frills, peanuts (or pretzels) only airline has been fuel conscious for years. The Texas-based carrier buys its fuel years in advance

This post reminds me of the axiom
that the price of fuel is the price
of everything.
Bankrupt airlines may soon be the least
of our worries if the barrel-price of
oil keeps going up....which it will.
I recently read that, every time gas goes
up 1 cent per gallon, it costs Greyhound
and extra $3 million per month.
Thanks, Mike.
