Bygone era of commercial aviation

[Autothrust Blue]

I believe the government has quite a bit of blame to shoulder for the current state of the airline industry. Their mismanagement of the ATC system, as well as the ever-growing number of regulations it imposes makes it almost impossible for any airline to survive.

If you think it is bad with the government, I shudder to think what it would be like without government regulation (except where things like the Toilet Safety Administration Transportation Security Administration are concerned, of course).

Don't blame the consumer or the government because an airline can't compete; blame the airline. I'm sick of hearing that deregulation destroyed the industry, when almost all of us owe our careers to it.

But...I mean...the corporations...and the government...and they're all corporationy...
(you're right)
