Suspended in Air

The airline industry is losing $200 million USD a day. Stranded travelers are spending hundreds of dollars more on accommodations. Yet based on this data, Mother Earth is seeing a net benefit from the Icelandic volcanic eruption. Of course, if we have a crappy summer due to weather patterns created by said volcano (though it should be said, the name of the mountain cannot be said), then we might think twice or thrice about any volcanic benefits.
