Some quick questions, Dick.
Was 'the industry' healthier back in the 80's, in the days when there was full-reporting, free charts, FSUs etc- all those things you proudly claim the removal of, as achievements? Was it?
After you 'saved' all those billions of dollars from the industry, where did they (the billions) go? Did they develop the industry in some way? Promote it? Did they expand airports and their infrastructure? Did they pay for better servicing of the industry in anyway?
Is it cheaper to fly now, or was it then? Do you think that the difference in expense has anything to do with the 'state of the industry'?
Finally, why do you think anything you did concerning 'the industry' helped it in any way, and what do you base that on?
