Begging from the tarmac.

So, over a dozen airline companies signed a letter sent to frequent fliers asking them to contact Washington and tell them that something must be done to curb oil speculation. I'm not sure which is worse, the airlines begging for help, or the fact that they are asking us to beg those folks on Capitol Hill

And even worse, Southwest Airlines is one of the signers. Its disappointing considering how much I've talked them up in a couple papers a few years back.
