I think it's a different environment today. Air transport is a more critical piece of the transportation infrastructure, and liquidating United is too significant a hit to the stability of that infrastructure for politicians to allow it to happen easily. It's the pseudo-regulated market that has the effect of holding the industry's head underwater. I could be wrong.
