The real problem is that the airline industry has always been "protected" by government, and Darwinism has not been allowed to operate. The singular determination of airlines to use this protection to stay in business no matter what has led to the kind of price-cutting and overcapacity that has driven U.S. airline growth to levels that hurt, not help, consumers.

While I anticipate more "the world is growing smaller" technologies like efficient airlines, to facilitate leaisure travel, the demonstrable savings of Internet-based work and educaion (soon to include health) business models argues in favor of restructuring the airine industry through free-market competition to better allocate resources among competitors, and getting the government out of the business of saving those who make bad busines decisions.
