The lady talks just like a whacko, San Francisco Socialist, eh?
She never had an Econ 101 class in her life, unless, perhaps at UC Berkeley, taught by a Marxist prof from the Soviet Union.
I have the same objection to Virgin getting my hard earned tax money as I do with the taxpayers subsiding Billionaire professional sports team owners in building their stadiums. It is NOT the right thing to do.
None of the good things she claims or thinks will happen. Introduction of a new low cost carrier will put more pressure on other carriers and further drag the piloting profession down with super low wages for doing one of the most demanding jobs there ever was. People outside the profession think we are bus drivers, with little to no training or experience required .. and anyone who takes a job like this has no self respect or esteem for the profession.
