I have to agree the $100 change fee is way too high. But really what is the alternative? Raising fares? That can only go so high. They are looking at a $100M loss this year. As a former crewmember I hope that they can weather this storm. I have close friends who are still there. They are being smart now with sitting on cash and try to ride this out. Every business decision that is made now is magnified because they really have no choice but pay for fuel.

Consolidation will play out and there will be a LOT of opportunities for future growth, but right now cash is king and they will weather this storm.
