One thing that most people on FlyerTalk overlooked is what is coming next? I have to say reduced capacity. Who knows how small USAir need to be in order to survive. When the supply meet demand, that'll be the time tix price will rise.</font>
Thats the dumbest things I've heard all day....

Thinking that US can raise prices when it's future supply decreases to less than the current demand, assumes (incorrectly) that they have the only supply, and there is price inflexability of demand, neither is true. They will reduce capacity and increase price and lower demand because we will be flying other airlines.
