NEW YORK (AP) - A number of major airlines have rolled back a
weekend fare increase. It marks first time in more than half a
dozen attempts that a widespread price hike failed to take hold
across the struggling industry.
One industry observer says the moves may reflect softening
demand among consumers.
The carriers themselves, however, declined to say whether the
shift signals concern about customer demand.
American Airlines launched the $20 roundtrip increases across
much of its domestic network Saturday. That move was quickly
matched by many of its closest competitors, including United
Airlines and Delta Air Lines.
Continental Airlines was among the carriers that matched the
increase over the weekend, but it rolled back the higher prices
Monday, putting pressure on other carriers to do the same.
Airlines have been scrambling to cut costs and increase revenue
as jet fuel prices have soared by about 77 percent more than it did
a year ago.

7:18am: The majority of American workers aren't sitting pretty. A nationwide online survey recently found that only 17% of American workers find their work chair comfortable while 32% claim their chair is comfortable. 52% said they would love to replace their current chair if they were allowed.
