yes, i am sure they are honnest and that as soon as the barrel of brent will stay more than 30 days below 30 USD, they will cancel such surcharges.

... on the other hand i believe they are not so stupid and that they want to make money at each opportunity. They will therefore apply the following principle: if passengers could pay our extreme fuel surcharges in additition of the taxes and the ticket price... they can still pay this therefore we increase the price of the ticket by an equivalent amount.

Of course, it won't be made simulatneously but gradually and with something like this as reason "in order to face current security costs and always higher maintenance costs for your safety, the ticket price will increase by 30 EUR or xx% beginning april 20xx"

wait and see...
