Is anyone else feeling somewhat vulnerable with the unstable airline situation? It seems that almost every news source is carrying some sort of story about airlines discussing “going under” (due in part to the high fuel charges). During 9-11, it was uncomfortable being in Hawaii knowing that we were all …“stranded” here, but at least we knew it was just temporary.
But, what if more airlines go out of business? Or, what if the remaining airlines start charging fees so high that only the rich can afford to fly? I don’t know about you, but this situation seems like “slow terrorism” to me, not a fast event, but a slow and steady hacking away at our air transportation.
What do you think about this? Do you have kids in college on the mainland? Mainland relatives you might want to visit? Feel dependant on mainland food and supplies? What if the airlines stop flying, or drastically cut flights to Hawaii?
I've NEVER worried about this before. But NOW, I am.
