Profits? Growing? No. The airlines are losing money hand over fist due to the very high fuel costs and the inability of the airlines to charge enough (across the board) for the seats. The flying public has NEVER had fares as low as they are now (adjusted for inflation). If this continues for much longer, you will begin to see the collapse of the airline industry in this country. These low fares coupled with the very high costs can not go on forever.

Long term, I fear for my job.
