This is a distant early warning of the impending demise of commercial aviation. The inexorable rise of the price of fuel will eventually make flying unaffordable for all but the military and civil servants. Airlines are already struggling to remain solvent, and are cutting costs everywhere they can: salaries, squashing passengers to increase seats/plane, nickel & dimeing us with baggage surcharges, etc.
Offshoring IT is an example of cutting costs to the bone.
Your grandchildren will only know of flying as an ancient legend.
