$70 price of oil July 1, 2007
$140 price of oil July 1, 2008
$143 price of oil this morning

Last increase in xONEx fares June 1, 2007.

Prices are going up. JMO
BA (& QF, and others) collect YQ fuel surcharges on their segments which are supposed to reflect such changes. If fare increases are blamed on oil prices, then we should all examine the YQ surcharges closely for a corresponding reduction
