Another bizarro day on Wall Street today for airline stocks. The price of oil declines a measly 1.88 to $134.86/barrel and the market bids up airline stocks as though we really had some kind of great news.
Meanwhile, for the week, jet fuel closed at $3.94/gallon. (New York)
Yee haw. Time to run out and celebrate.
Well, maybe not.
Holly have you seen the study results over at the BTC website? http://businesstravelcoalition.com/campaigns/consolidation/airline_crisis_report.pdf
Should oil stay above 100 dollars a barrel, things are going to get pretty nasty.
