This is a USAirways post despite the article's subject being JetBlue. I am commenting how JetBlue's tune of deferring aircraft deliveries sounds oh-so-very familiar to those of us who have endured US/East management fiascos for the past 17 years or so.

Fuel costs force JetBlue
to cut growth plans
JetBlue on Tuesday said it had scaled back its growth plans as rising fuel costs dragged the low-fare US airline to its second consecutive quarterly loss.
The airline plans to sell some aircraft and defer deliveries as it shifts more capacity to short-haul flying from longer transcontinental markets, and will introduce new efforts to cut costs as crude oil pushes above $75 a barrel.
