Re:Oil Falls Below $40 for First Time Since 2009 as Glut Grows by saryant on Friday August 21, 2015 @05:47PM (#10100458)
Airfare isn't falling because the domestic airlines a) have a triopoly and b) have learned not to compete on marketshare, so capacity isn't increasing as much. The big 3 have become much more disciplined when it comes to revenue management.
