I can fly from Sacramento, clear across the country to New York for
$99. I can't fly from Italy to Germany for anything near that. If the
socialist gov'ts of the EU allow it, discount carriers will soon take
over the EU too and people will find its cheaper to fly than take the
train. We're already starting to see that happen in Asia.

This was very true five years ago but not really any longer. EasyJet and
Ryanair have opened this door wide enough that it won't be getting slammed
shut again soon.
