Rik Reppe rants about airlines and oil
James Ray Twittered this link to Rik Reppe's latest blog post about how the airline industry business model is in need of change in the face of rising oil prices.
"...maybe there's an airline out there with the stones to actually charge based on lbs. per customer (defined as the human's weight, the weight of checked baggage, the weight of all carry on items)...but I doubt it. So...who's more expensive for you to carry...a 120lb woman with a 50lb checked suitcase and 15lbs of carry on crud? Or a 200lb guy with a 25lb carry-on and 7lb briefcase? Do the math. So...who would you market to? Think about it..."
