doesn't surprise me but i wonder if it's really an increase since a lot of companies are ditching planes and flying smaller planes & more flights to fill up those planes...

ie: DAL is running 2 flights per day now on 737's instead of 757's to JFK and they're PACKED...well, go fig... they were at 2 flights before using 757's and packed then too. so obviously, it'd make it look like traffic is up.

i tell ya... between gas prices and the rising costs at the airlines (UAL is now charging a $15/1st checked bag fee now too)... I think a lot of people will probably be staying home for vacation and then the media will turn it into doom and gloom that even though there was increased traffic, the amount of passengers using the airlines was down "drastically" for the first time in years...

just like the media does every xmas season in regards to retail puchases.

:p
