Wallstreetone-3

Taking a look at today’s action on Wall Street it’s not a very pretty sight — as airline stocks are once again taking some hits. However, on the good side, the hits are relatively minor, compared to the major body blows the sector has endured over the last week or so.

And this, as oil more or less just sits around $97 a barrel.
