If I were President I would blow up the entire airline business and make them start over.
I've run the math and they can take out 20% of the seats, enlarge the rest to fill the space, charge 20% more, zero'ing out the loss of 20% of the people, have less people and luggage weight, need less snacks and sodas, less waste and carry more cargo.
Plus, I'd allow them to charge ONE and only ONE fare.
There has GOT to be a way to make the customer matter. What else, besides the federal gummint, works like the airline industry???
