May as well let them run our airlines... they control everything else in the US...

I always choose an international carrier whenever possible. I have flown with Air France, Lufthansa, British Airways, Olympic Airlines, Air India and others and have honestly never had a problem in over 40 years of traveling. Whenever I am forced to take a domestic flight here in the USA it is a complete fiasco...canceled or delayed departures, lost luggage, rude personnel and generally being treated like cattle. The foreign carriers are not perfect but far superior to the likes of what is offered in this country!

Where did you miss the part where I said that you can choose not to fly?????

By the way...I agree with you....our taxes should NOT have gone to them to bail out their bad business practice. That IS a fault of our government...all the way back to the 80s in terms of airlines.

Now what's up with the "stupid" comment?? You do realize that since you completely missed the part where I AGREED WITH YOU about our choice to keep flying.........you've opened yourself up for fairly easy ridicule....

**Companies have a right to CHOOSE to offer that service.**

And we have the right to not give them our hard earned money, stupid!

You act like we owe them something and they owe us nothing. Our taxes went to save their worthless greedy rear ends. Since they don't owe us service, according to you, then how about they pay it back?

Eventually we'll get smart and invest in better and more productive forms of travel. As for now, the alternatives are just as bad.

As a person who flies regularly I can speak intelligently about this. I do not have a RIGHT to fly that needs to be protected by my government. I have a right to CHOOSE to fly. Companies have a right to CHOOSE to offer that service. I can choose another method of transportation if I feel that it will serve me better. Thank you to our government!

I don't understand why people complain about it, expect someone else to fix it,....and then keep paying for the same crappy service. If you don't like it.......DON'T FLY! Companies are in business to make money. Filling out a complaint form doesn't cost them anything. NOT FLYING DOES.

So for the people complaining: When you have the guts to make a hard choice and put your money where your mouth is......maybe things will change.

Charge for checked luggage.... good idea! Inspire MORE people to drag their steamer trunks though the aisles and hog the overhead compartments!!

yes ... atlanta is not a good airport ... especially if you are a woman and need to use the restroom (longggggg lines).

They only care about the money ...That goes for the airports too, especially Atlanta!

Higher Prices ... Lesser Service, it's American capitalism at work. Responsibility is only for those that can't afford it. This is why American corporations need monopolistic powers - except for CEO salaries - they cannot compete. Sorry state of affairs but this is what 8 years of Republican and Chamber of Commerce dictates get the public.
