i think on the whole things will be better once the dust settles.

the biggest problem with the industry, and the economy as a whole, has been the face that nothing has been allowed to implode/die off as needed. some airlines have been propped up for decades off and on, when the gov't should've let them die.

once this pain has subsided, we'll be left with fewer, stronger, more adaptive companies more apt to survive in the long run.

we just have to get through the pain of the current situation.
