Stock futures slip as Greece worry offsets UPS results
As many market fails in this time of bad economy, the European airlines weren't already in a debt survival struggle (and their American counterparts also) the ash cloud over Europe isn't really going to help matters much. It wasn't the result of successive bong malfunctions in Amsterdam, but the Iceland volcano eruption, which has grounded the bulk of European airlines.
