Ask yourself why did Delta shut down Comair and purchased Pinnacle. It's to control cost of ALL their feed?
You act as if Congress is a perpetual and stable entity. How many new members are there every 2 years? There is a possibility of significant turnover. Then, you have the RAA whispering in their ears about how these new regulations are causing a shortage of pilots when, in reality, many of their problems are compensation based. This is anti-RAA lobbying to prevent the roll-back of the Colgan regulations.
