In a disorganized and unregulated market, you get what you pay for.
Tickets are too cheap. Too many gates. Tired clappy a/c. Carpet smells like puke, 'Pilots' with wrinkled whites and unshined boots. 'Pilots' who pay to 'fly', who pay 32,000 USD to get the ATP with 1500 hours in eighteen months. Who get hired. Sully has to fly F/O because his line buckled. He flies a 320 ? with his cv ? (No Offense). Don't listen to me, listen to him.
Self Regulation ? On what Planet.
C-5 - I did not say I believed the line could suffer loss of pax with impunity. Ever.
