[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 688524, member: 8259"] Actually that will not work. The Government decides among other things which routes an airline can fly, what types of aircraft they can operate, which cities they operate in, etc.. The point is that there is no competition as the government grants mini monopolies if you will to each airline in the form of their hub and spoke system. Even so it is far more efficient to move any considerable distance by air rather than by auto, train, horse, or foot. Think more along the lines of something as a liberal that you hate. Wal Mart. They have greater buying power which allows them to drive down the costs of their suppliers and in turn allows them to offer their goods to the consumer at a reduced cost. This in turn drives the less efficient competitors out of the market giving them a larger market share which gives them a greater buying power which continues to drive prices lower. The prices are kept low since they have no government granted monopoly so at any time they raise prices enough it would allow someone to take advantage and enter the market with a more efficient model and compete. The ultimate winner is the consumer with goods and services at the prices they are willing to pay. [/QUOTE]
