    Wow. What a terrible time for the industry.

    Ron, have you ever seen it this bad? You've been in the industry and though some things are cyclic, what is your take on this?

    What is this, the 8th carrier now?

    My heart goes out to those families.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Too bad. Zoom had such a bizarre business model, though, it's amazing to me they survived as long as they did.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Wow! I didn't hear about this - and as I was driving past KFLL this afternoon on my way home, the Zoom flight was coming in from I assume LGW - that's what they were going to do - I guess that is stranded on the ground now.
