Re: Will US Airlines survive - I think not!!
*lol* We were practically neighbours. I'm at 67th & Union Hills.
Yeah, it is a nice long trip. I'm mostly going over to spend some time with my Mother, who's still adjusting to living alone after my Dad's death. Gives my two Brother's a break for a little while too, not that they mind. Not looking forward to being apart from the Wife that long though, especially as we thought she might be able to come over for two weeks while I was there, but couldn't get the time off work. Such is life...

Re: Will US Airlines survive - I think not!!
This is from 2002, but absolutely bang up to date today:
article from The Onion
"WASHINGTON, DC—Seeking to address "the number-one threat to airline security," the Federal Aviation Administration announced Monday that it will consider banning passengers on all domestic and international commercial flights."
[anyone not familiar with The Onion should be aware that it's humorous and not for real, although some US right wing Christians have been known to quote it as a genuine news source, haha, idiots]

I'm going to start flying on Arab Airlines or look for some muslim owned travel company. That's probably the safest way to travel right now.

Wish I could afford to live there, it's a really nice area, we rented an appt, but we got priced out when we were looking for a house, so had to move further out west, although I find where I live now is more family orientated.
I look forward to meeting you some day soon!
