:D You're welcome!
Knowledge is power

Here is another article I ran across regarding the sweeping change in the Airline Industry, LCC's or low cost carriers are taking over in all markets,
the old hub and spoke operations of the major carriers is fading into oblivion, and being replaced by direct flights. This is much more convenient and pleasurable than flying point A to B to C and maybe D.

The best to everyone in 2005
and support in every way you can the Tsunami relief.
