IF you're a WallSt type who's been in the game for more than 10-15 years and you haven't saved enough NOT to worry, you're either a fool, or you've got some really really nice stuff!

My travel is almost exclusively personal, and yes - the economy has impacted the amount I might otherwise have booked.
Most of that, however, is owing to the increase in fares rather than a decrease in confidence.

The capacity controls the industry has implemented will result in significantly lower leisure travel, IMO, while increasing margins as well.
