Problem is the airline industry is a poor example of a market economy. There's limited competition, especially for certain routes. It's a natural oligopoly that needs to be regulated somewhat like a utility. Take LA and NYC (LAX and JFK) for instance, America's largest 2 cities. There's only 3 airlines that fly between those cities: American, Delta, and JetBlue. This is not an industry we can just deregulate, leave to the free market, and hope that everything works out.
I figured it just had a lot of funerals to attend as 7 horses died training for this stupid animal abuse sport.
I'm very familiar with NYC airports. Those aren't nonstop flights. Everything in your picture had a connection. LGA doesn't fly west of Denver nonstop (except on Saturdays, right now looks like they have one flight to SLC). Newark is close by which is a major hub for United, but you have to take a bus over from the city.
You on board with the mass migration program this set of 'experts' is running?
Can we take on board a couple hundred million by 2030?
How many would you say is optimal?
If the service disparity was significant between one or two airlines, you can bet your last dollar there'd be an impact no matter how much of the routes they've cornered. If services suffer across the board, its more likely because of some economical factor inside the model. Simply mandating airlines to pay for hotels and such when there is a cancelation does one thing: Passes those costs on to the consumer.
I'm not on board with our current chaos. I think we should have a digital currency and everybody should be paying taxes. I do think we should look at the open jobs and see where we can find immigrants able to fill them.
