I'm sure that protectionism and envoquing "all American" will work for the US airline industry as well as it did for the US auto industry
you couldn't see a commercial on TV about an American car that didn't have an eagle in it from 2000 to 2008 LOL! It wasn't until they realize that it was the product that was failing them and not the publics sense of nationalism....! But on the other hand, have you seen the cars they are making now? Detroit has come back with a vengeance.....!
Dear US legacy carriers, your costumer service SUCKS....! It is not our sense of patriotism that has diminished, it is your product....! Plain and simple.
