Over an extreme period(years) the extra pricing power would allow airlines to lower prices(good for consumers) and grow thier product to more people(good for employees and customers). If they dont new entrants would fill the gap. Again good for customers and people without jobs.
You can not use 2 days as an example thats is crazy.
Yep except those taxes (that aren't being collected right now) fund the FAA, and without that funding the FAA won't be able to certify new entrants.
So its doubly good for airlines. Less taxes and no new competition!
