After more than a year of slumping demand and sinking revenue, the nation's airline industry is beginning to show signs of a recovery, with modest increases in revenue and forecasts of growing demand this year.

The indications of a recovery, documented in recent government and airline reports, come after 14 straight months of declining revenues for the nation's airlines and passenger traffic numbers that have been dropping for almost two years. Airline experts have blamed the drop in passengers on the recession, high unemployment rates and deep cuts to corporate travel budgets.

Once again where is it about US?

Isn't US a part of "the nation's airline industry" - I could have sworn they were. Maybe you need to apply for a job as moderator since you like to decide who can post what...

Once again where is it about US?

The group's report was released a week after an independent equity research company, Majestic Research Corp., released a study predicting that large, traditional airlines such as US Airways, United Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines may see passenger revenue increase as much as 9%

It'll be interesting to see what the consumer confidence report is next month. The one released about a week ago had a significant drop from the previous month, which would probably show up in leisure travel if it isn't a one month aberration.

When an article is not US specific and mentions other airlines the mods usually move it.

As is their right. Just didn't know you had a job as the pre-screener of posts that determines which posts are in the wrong forum.

I'm also wondering why you didn't complain about the thread on the possible change in the NMB rules for union certification or the thread with the poll on how many people favored or opposed the potential rule change - neither opening post nor the poll mentioned DL yet they were in the DL forum and turned into a DL union election thread? I believe you took part in the discussions in both of those "posted in the wrong place" threads and didn't once ask "Where does it say DL?"

Actually, due to the way this thread is going, I just moved it AND closed it.

Grow up people.
