It's great that the Mannings did this.

Jump to postWhat kills me is that besides labor, fuel is the largest cost for an airline. Yet when oil rises from $10 per barrel to $50, people scream if the airlines raise fares $10 bucks per way. Fuel costs are definately a large, yet not the largest, factor in airlines' continued problems.
