Prepare for flight cutbacks
Posted by: John Rambow, Thursday, Jul 3, 2008, 11:08 AM

You can expect fewer passengers in front of you at domestic airports come fall. USA Today estimates that about a third of the country's busiest airports will be losing 10 percent of flights.

Biggies include Honolulu (down 23.7 percent—this includes flights among the Hawaiian islands), Oakland (down 21.8 percent), and Kansas City (down 15.7 percent). A graphic illustrates the cuts state by state.

Dear Sam:
In keeping the dollar down in order to stimulate our economy, please remember that factors such as
fuel prices threaten to drag the tablecloth off our collective table and take our feast (our achievements in this economy) with it. If it slides too far...you can't put it back on the table.
Regards,
Your Taxpayer
