Airline Woes...

Does anyone else wonder if maybe these recent "grounding" of flights due to "maintenance" issues might just be a way to curb the soaring operational costs in the airline industry today? For those of us that might just need to hop on a quick day trip for a meeting, we might just host those meetings via WebEx.

I wonder if these costs will lead companies to start outsourcing their sales calls to sales consultants. Example: let's say you live in Ohio, and you can easily get to: Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky and even upstate New York. If you are skilled in one industry or target market you might be employed by multiple companies because they can't afford to keep flying people everywhere...

It's not going to happen tomorrow, but it might just happen.
