Airline cutbacks: About this graphic - USATODAY.com

Here is a very cool interactive map of the fall cutbacks announced by US Airlines. Simply click on the link and then use your cursor to roll over the state you are interested in. On the right there will be a display list that shows the largest losers and gainers in service. If you want to see the full effect of the current oil issues, check out the drop in service in Hawaii.
For those of you from West Virginia, Charleston and Lewisburg show the biggest drops. Continental is halting all service between Charleston and Cleveland and Lewisburg is now down to one flight per day. Morgantown also saw a drop in seats available with the switch from USAirways to United. Other cities seeing large decreases in service include Orlando and Las Vegas, these two are large tourist markets where low fare carriers have big shares of the market. The current fuel prices make the ticket price fundamentals in those markets unsustainable.
Enjoy the map!
