I don't know what the point is, really. I just don't like flying as much

I used to.

I pretty much just refuse to fly commercial.... it just isn't worth
the hassle. My interests are in General Aviation, which is seeing a
resurgence... since businesses are trying to regain some control of
the flying experience....

leading to disgruntled employees, etc. Now, the industry seems like a

That's a pretty apt description. Corporate raiders have cruised in and
stolen most of the real value of the airlines.... stepping out the
open door trailing their platinum parachute... leaving a certain
demise to those left behind.

Exactly. Now, if you knew this was the situation at your preferred auto
shop, and the specific mechanic who'd been working on your cars for 20 years
suddenly had a ****y attitude and started doing sloppy work, I think you'd
find another shop.
