I wouldn't touch an airline with a 10 foot pole with oil over $100 a barrel.But business for Asian airlines is booming. The International Air Transport Association says here is a global shortage of pilots per year and warned that an additional 17,650 new aircraft will hit the skies by 2018 that will require 207,000 pilots.I don't like airlines because the capital investment of airplanes is too high and the rising oil prices are killing profits. There is probably a very good airline service company that is the right way to profit from this Asian travel boom. I just have to find it.
