Utter cluelessness Jay. Larry D just likes to post endless news
stories and then mis-interparate thier meaning so he can start
arguments. I am surprised you fell for it. Arent you usualy the one
who posts complaining about the lack of integrity on this list ?
The sad fact of the matter is that (The way it is structured now) the
airline biz in this country will never consistently make money. I dont
know if regulation in some form may be an answer to this or not, but
AIM does not "Ask" for protection. As an organization they have little
to gain from this. They are voted in and voted out just like in a
democracy.
There are definatly pros and cons to industry consolidation, especialy
if you are an airline employee right now. AIM obviously sees a
downside to consolidation as far as its members are concerned. Do you
want to see dedicated career profesionals working at airlines ?
