I would add that it's not particularly fair to look at just the overall inflation rate when airlines are so highly dependent on the price of one particular commodity -- fuel. Also, it's not unreasonable to consider that airline salaries have been particularly depressed over the past few years as a result of all the bankruptcies and that you will see pressure on that front now that airline financials have improved.

We now return you to the regularly scheduled hype, hysteria, doom, and gloom.
