First, disreguard my last post. Second, whats wrong with a little job
security. We all stand to gain from a stong viable airline industry.
IAM is AGAINST consolidation (Which would mean less competition). What
waste/Bloat are you talking about.

As much as we all lament the great service of the "old days", I don't think
anyone wants to pay $1K (in today's money) to fly cross-country anymore.


I lament those hot young flight attendants.
