NWA has kicked off another $5/$10 fare increase.

Northwest Launches Another Fare Increase

But before we start hearing about how this will equate to $25/bbl oil, here's a quote:

Sorry folks,

I posted this on the US forum and it was moved. The part after the link was aimed at a poster there, certainly no one here.

Looks like this one is sticking. Even SWA raised their fares, just $1 to $3, but it's a raise in base fares. The industry needs every nickel it can get its hands on.
