When I became an Airline employee, I had the chance to see aircrafts everyday whenever I go to work, and it's pretty neat! I also have travelled many places in the Philippines, both on Vacation (for free!) and on Official Business.
Now the Airline Industry is suffering since the 911 attack, add the fluctuating Fuel Prices, many of Airlines have already closed. AH1N1 has also contibuted to the decreasing market for the Airlines. Then there are several recent Air accidents in the past few months, this may further reduce the comfort of the traveling public to travel by air.
