I used to work for Continental Airlines, and still have many friends in the business who are worried about Y2K, the economy and their jobs, so I found this article very interesting:

H'mmmm, most of the stuff by airlines is posturing. It is the air carriers' insurance companies that will decide who flies come Y2K. My guess as of today is that insurance companies will quiet up 'til close to Y2K then state: Risks too high so no fly.. Anyone got a steer on this from the insurance industry?
