To all the illiterate Mothafuckas chiming in .... This thread is not about the price of gasoline. It's about the price of airfares and jet fuel prices are only one of the determining factors in this. DCA-SDQ was $425 in April when gas was at $4.19/gal. yet DCA-SDQ was $525 last Month while gas was $3.65/gal. so what does that tell us about the effect of changing gas prices on airfares? It tells us it don't mean JACK SHIT! Airlines purchase their fuel on long term contracts which is a purely speculative measure. Then they set the prices of their tickets. If gasoline was $2/gal. tomorrow it wouldn't affect ticket prices for 3 Months so please keep the thread on track and stop trying to make it about who is best at speculating gasoline prices in near term. It doesn't mean shit to an airline.
