The Three Federal Mistakes Bringing Airlines Down
1. Deregulating the airline industry druing the carter administration, circa 1977-78.
2. firing the air traffic controllers, circa '82...Ronald Regan.
3. doing away with landing slots at major airports and allowing a free for all...circa 2000.
The FAA can't get over the idea that people make the system work...they want to minimize people, maximize machines and never have to trust people again.
Deregulation, without expanding the infrastructure can't work.
