Y'all are boring today

If airlines are no longer allowed to overbook, folks are not going to like the next round of airfare hikes. If you go back into the deregulated era, prior to 1978, where the C.A.B. controlled such things, airfare was twice as expensive as it is today. If airlines can not fill empty using current practices, airfares will rise dramatically. Worse yet, some additional airlines could fail under economic pressure which would reduce overall capacity/competition raising fares even higher.

You can vote on airline practices with your checkbook, but with the consolidation of the airline industry that has occurred over the last 7 years, good luck trying to find a convenient flight to certain destinations as at an airfare your willing to pay while avoiding a certain air carrier.

The last big "win" for the consumer vs the airlines was the tarmac time rule. Since the DOT has implemented the rule, it has reduced the number of occurrences where folks have had to sit on the ramp for 3 plus hours. The other side of that coin is that the number of canceled flights has increased dramatically. So instead of having to endure a long taxi delay and getting to your destination late, you are less likely to get where you want to go which could take you several days to get to your intended destination depending on time of year and how many other flights were canceled on the same day/days.

Besides, the Donald said no new federal regulations unless you get rid of two others.

The ultimate comeuppance for all of the sanctimonious click-tavists in this melodrama. Looking forward to them sharing a bus seat with Dr Dao.
