Americans take 41 million fewer flights, survey shows





As the title implies, the number of flyers are decreasing constantly. According to surveys, the hassles are just too much to get through so people are choosing not to fly when traveling. Now the airline industries are going down.
The article also indicated that this could be a message to political leader's to get some type of reforming with the airline system. What is a possible effect of this outcome??
The article mentioned two airlines, Northwest and Delta announcing that they will combine in order to reduce costs. Many problems are on the rise with the airline industry with less peole flying and fuel costs going up. Many changes are being brought about the industry yet there has not been a positive outcome yet. So how much do you need to "dig in" to get to the people?
I believe that there is no true answer to this.
Until the airline industry figures out a way to get to the people in a new way, in my opinion, I believe that they will struggle for awhile.
