I agree with that to, but only from an employee perspective. What the airlines did to pensions just irks me, and I will not fly United for example if I don't have to because of what they did to their employees.

Yeah, my neighbor before I went away to school was a recently retired UAL heavy captain. Flew for them since circa 1960 (flew F-86s for the USAF before United), retiring late 90s/early 2000. They even screwed him out of some benefits after he'd retired...
The airlines just can't survive in an a competitive environment with oil being so high. Probably the only industry in the world where they don't pass on the cost of doing biz to the consumer.
