Also a story in USA Today, I believe, about the prospects for relief. No direct bailouts are likely, but the insurance thing might get some backing. Am not sure what they could do about jet fuel (except maybe suspend taxes). The "security fee" would need lots of letters from ordinary flyers to sway Congress, IMO. It'll be a challenge just to hold it where it is, let alone reduce it. They need to hear from people (especially families) who are unhappy with taxes turning $200 round-trips into $240 or $250 ones.
