      Customer Omega for the Airlines
      Hello! They deregulated the airline industry in 1978. The flying public is getting EXACTLY what they demanded ....CHEAP! They sound like a bunch of chicks in an incubator when they book a flight! CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP!
      They got cheap, airlines cut staffing levels, cut pay, eliminated pensions. They're flying aircraft that should be in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum now. No modern industrialized nation on earth still flies MD-80s and DC-9s! Airlines can not afford to replace them.
      Name one other industry that lost 35 BILLION dollars in 6 years like the airline industry did in the 6 years after 2001! You can't because no industry comes close to losses like that.
      I know what you're going to say,Southwest has been profitable. That's true, but SW like other "low cost" carriers is a cherry picker. They only fly routes that high volume and therefore they can always count of full flights. What to get from Dallas to Billings Montana on SW, can't be done! You can get to Orlando from a lot of places on SW because it is a very high density market.
      Bottom line, the flying public is getting exactly what they demanded and now they don't like it! So when the flying public needs to know what's wrong with the airline industry these days they need look no further than their bathroom mirror!
