aviator---
I am all too aware of the tragedies in the past week, but you have missed my point entirely. Airline managements in the USA have grossly mismanaged their companies for years (with a few exceptions)and have a LOT to be held accountable for. Braniff, Eastern, TWA.....the list goes on and on.
And let us not forget ALPA, always crying poor at contract negotiation time while at the same time stabbing many in the back...Eastern again comes to mind.
Oh, and by the way, I personally have done very well in 35 years of airline flying, worldwide
