I just received the following email from US Air.
"Contact you representatives" and "Take action now" were links to stopoilspeculationnow, a .com.

Dear US Airways customer,

As you can read in the attached letter signed by 12 airline CEOs, US Airways and other carriers in partnership with the Air Transport Association (ATA) are joining a broad coalition of consumer and industry groups calling upon Congress to take swift action to reign in irresponsible oil speculators. We advocate putting common sense limits on unchecked oil speculation by paper traders who are running up the price, but do not intend to take possession of the oil they trade.

While the reasons for surging oil prices are complex, common sense tells us that escalating prices are more than a supply and demand issue. In the long term, we must reduce our dependence on foreign oil. The airline industry fully supports maximum efforts to increase domestic production of oil, alternative energy sources and conservation. But there is also a short term problem which has significantly impacted the price of oil.

While this is not the only solution, it is perhaps the quickest way to stop or reduce the rising price of oil. Without immediate oil speculation reform by Congress there will likely be additional service level reductions and higher airfares. We urge you to contact your representatives in Congress immediately.

Thank you for your support and business during this unprecedented time for our industry.

Take action now

I didn't get that letter????

I got something similiar, but it was from United.

I received it a week ago (at least) from Airtran. I actually wondered if it was spam - then a day or two later I heard about it on the news as a legit email.

I wondered how they divided up the lists, and why i didn't receive it from all of my loyalty program airlines.

Hmmm - Airtran was the last airline I actually flew from that list. Daisy and Jeff, what was your last airline flight from the list?

My last was US Air

We received this from United and American.
(Our last flights were on Southwest)

Kes, I flew Air Subaru the first 7 hours Wednesday - until I-15 turned into a parking lot.

My previous flight was Allegiant.

I got mine from United. I love the hypocrisy of having it signed by Southwest who is killing their competitors because of successful oil speculation.

I got the same thing from Delta. But not only are the airlines hurting, but we have had a couple of restaraunts that closed down due to people not being able to afford to eat out at a nice place, like we used to. Myself included. I have even started bringing my lunch to work, which I figure might save around $200 a month. Which in return just goes into the fuel tank! I figure that even if I drove around the corner to McDonald's for the dollar cheeseburger and chicken sandwich, it still takes $4 worth of gas to crank the Jeep and come back to work.
