Im in the airline industry, so the potential for layoffs has been prevalent since 9/11. Just keep praying for better economy!

OHHHHH that splains it. I work for a Boeing Contractor and we've had rif after rif. It sure is easy to find parking in the lot these days. The Airline industry is in the same state that the department store industry is, there are more of each than needed and few make much profit. That is if Walmart, K-mart and Target are department stores.

Well, Im just hearing about our pilot group and management reaching a contract agreement regarding USAIR's emergence from bankruptcy. It looks like there is potential for a return to profitability. Which is a good thing, my SUV requires a lot of gas! :)
