jefother,

"Airlines will have a choice - raise prices or lose lots of money. To stay in business they will have to begin raising prices if the cost of oil remains high. Higher ticket prices usually means fewer flyers The one thing going for us on this front is that foreigners are traveling to the US because the value of their currency is high. I'm not clear on the number of eVUs deployed on airlines flying to and from the US though."

I'm sure that the airlines are closely examining "every outgoing dollar" Money spent on items that would actually create revenue would seem to be money well spent. As a passenger, while I would hesitate to pack and pay for that second piece of luggage I would not hesitate to rent an eVU.
