I guess this is what happens when airfares continue to decrease to the point of absurdity (airfares have remained steady during the past 10 years, however, when you factor in inflation, they have actually gone down).
If airfares continue to decrease (and competitive pressure from outfits like NK will not permit airfares to go up anytime soon), perhaps Americans will also need to start decreasing in size.
