With some 'experts' predicting crude at $200 before the end of the year will VX be able to weather the storm?

I cannot imagine that they provided contingency for such massive price rises in their business plan and competing as they do, in a fiercely competitive market, without large reserves to draw on and with few apparent economies that can be made, can they survive?

I'm sure several other airlines will fall by the wayside before this whole silly crisis is out and, as a newbie in the game, VX could be seen as a contender.

That aside, both times I've flown then loads have been very high so that hopefully counts for something. And it was a much better experience than TED.

*fingers crossed*

Actually yes there could be issues, will it kill VX, I don't think so....the big thing right now is what is going to happen to the bubble, if I had the money I would start shorting the oil futures.... I keep seeing that the real price of oil should be in the $50-$60 a barrel range, the rest is just speculation running up the price, at some point one of the big hedge funds will come in with a lot of money and drive that price down again...making money in both directions.
