Upscale airline joins those filing for bankruptcy

The Economy

Travel

If you have a ticket for a flight on Eos Airlines, you'd better call your travel agent. The upscale carrier is filing for bankruptcy. Eos tried to fill a niche by offering luxury service to business travelers flying from New York to London. A roundtrip ticket included champagne, gourmet food and plenty of leg room. The credit crunch and high fuel costs are to blame for grounding Eos. It's the fourth U.S. airline to close in the past few weeks. The others are Hawaii's Aloha Airgroup, ATA Airlines and Skybus Airlines.

I've just listened to Mr. Stein's concern for the poor working man. No doubt he drove his Bronco to the station to make his plea for the common man. Honestly, Ben Stein weeping for the common man's fate? After my sides stopped hurting from laughing ...
