Only if they can bust the airline worker's unions. The big salaries, bennies and perks they have are what has driven your knees into the seat back in front of you.


I don't even think that is true. What really did it is the desire of
fliers to be able to fly to the other coast for $99. They are willing
to give up anything for that price.
All deregulation did was allow the airlines to sell them what they
asked for at a price they are willing to pay.
