Embikweni wocwaningo ngoMsombuluko, umhlaziyi kaMorgan Stanley uWilliam Greene ubikezele ukuthi uma uwoyela ongahluziwe wehlela ku-$115 umphongolo, imboni yezindiza ingaba nenzuzo. Nokho, uwoyela uxazululwe namuhla ku-$114.25, ngemva kokushaya u-$113.25 phakathi nosuku.
Manje, ukuhlinzeka ngaleli phuzu lentengo kufakazela ukuqina, ingabe imboni ingazuza?
Abahlaziyi bezindiza abanalo ithemba ngokweqile, besaba ukuthi imboni ingase ihlehlise indlela yakamuva yokunciphisa inani lezindiza nezihlalo. Njengoba uGreene asho kabi, “ukwehla kwamanani entengo kawoyela kwethula ubungozi bokuncintisana okulimazayo njengoba izinhlelo zokulinganisa umthamo kanye nokuqondiswa kwemali engenayo ziba yisisulu sezindleko eziyengayo kanye nezinzuzo zesabelo semakethe ezihlobene nokukhula kwamandla. Izenzo ezinjalo zizocekela phansi imingcele yokusebenza emjikelezweni oqhutshwa uwoyela.”
Ukukhuphuka kwamanani kawoyela, vele, kulimaza imboni yezindiza, kodwa lezo zindleko ze-stratospheric ziphinde zanikeza uhlobo lwekhava yefu yokungasebenzi okubalulekile kwemboni. Ukuncintisana okukhulu, izingxabano zezabasebenzi, ukungabi khona kwabazali emsebenzini kwabalawuli baseWashington-konke kuhlangene ukubeka imboni esimweni esidinga ukucabanga okujulile. Njengoba omunye uchwepheshe wemboni akufingqa kimina: “Abukho ubuholi, akukho nqubomgomo, akukho qhinga, wonke umuntu usola omunye…konke kuzungeza iFoggy Bottom ngenkathi imboni yehla ngePotomac.”
Cabanga ngendaba yamandla. Isivumelwano sokuhlanganisa iDelta Air Lines kanye neNorthwest Airlines sagqugquzelwa ngokwengxenye isifiso sokuzuza umnotho wezinga. Nakuba abanye bephikisana ngokuthi ukuncishiswa kwamandla kuyisixazululo esinzima kakhulu sezinkinga zemboni ngoba ezesikhashana, abahlaziyi abaningi bezindiza baye baphikisana izinyanga ngokuthi ukunciphisa umthamo ojulile - cishe ngo-20% yenani lezindiza, ngokombono womhlaziyi uRay Neidl– ziwukuphela kwendlela yokuba imboni yehlise izindleko zayo futhi ngaleyo ndlela ithuthukise umnyombo wayo.
Noma uthathe imifelandawonye. Izinkampani zezindiza ezenqabile ukuhlangana ziye zafuna ukusebenzisana nezimbangi njengendlela yokuzuza izinzuzo ezithile ezincintisanayo futhi zandise imali engenayo ngokudayisa amathikithi. I-Continental ne-United bahamba ngaleyo ndlela; I-American Airlines ihlela ukutshela abenzi bomthetho baseMelika ukuthi kufanele bavunyelwe ukwenza umfelandawonye neBritish Airways kanye ne-Iberia.
Ukwehla kwentengo kawoyela kuyizindaba ezinhle. Kodwa embonini emiswe ukulahlekelwa inqobo nje uma izindiza, akuyona i-panacea.
