[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason why airlines are making record profits (and don't feel market pressure to pass in the form of lower tix prices along the incredible fuel savings they've enjoyed) is that the government has allowed competition to be substantially lessened through mergers.  This is the fault of both the Bush and Obama Administrations.  (America West-US Air, Delta-Northwest, United-Continental, American-US Airways).  The result is a cosy, concentrated industry where the airlines have withdrawn capacity to keep ticket prices high, control fortress hubs and face no competition on many routes.  Even Southwest isn't much of a disruptive market force anymore.  [/quote]
Agree. It's a corrupted industry.

Thank you, Obama and Bush, not to mention all the other Hill politicians who got wined and dined by airline lobbyists, and voted accordingly. Well done.[/quote]

Airlines are historically horrible investments.

You should definitely go buy some.

I once had to take a flight that someone had previously puked on. The unskilled labor figured the best solution was to douse the puke stain with coffee grinds...it didn't work...[/quote]
