Airline Issues - Will it Impact You?

With the recent turmoil and issues about overbooking, do you think the airlines will raise prices and change policies that will impact your ability to fly to a port?

Overbooking has allowed airlines to eliminate flying "empty" and in turn reduce prices albeit consequences can and do occur. I fear a huge price hike is forthcoming as they "fix" some of these issues.

Well, overbooking is indeed a problem. But in the recent United Airline passenger beating debacle, overbooking had nothing to do with it. The cause was due to another operational factor. It was the media and public who rushed out blaming overbooking. Overbooking has been with a long time though, so time to start paying attention.
