Wow, three U.S. based airlines closing shop for good in one week? That's
a triad of death!


April 5, 2008 - Skybus Airlines
April 2, 2008 - ATA Airlines
March 31, 2008 - Aloha Airlines
Add Champion Air, and the death watch is on for at least 2 others.


I'm gonna sayFrontierAirlines, and maybe Allegiant, Sun Country, and/or
Spirit.

Snip:
Frontier Airlines Holdings and its subsidiaries Friday filed for
chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, following an unexpected attempt by
its principal credit card processor to substantially increase a
"holdback" of customer receipts, which threatened to severely affect
Frontier's liquidity, the carrier said in a statement.
