What constantly amazes me is that the people continually put up with it over and over..... But one reason is they just don't have a whole lot of choices. Almost all airlines are essentially running 87% loadfactors and sadly, their break even load factor hovers around 83% as I understand it.

Fed Court recently struck down a NY law passed a while ago about fair and humane treatment to passengers on a delayed flight. Amazingly, it was ultimately shot down. Reason was that it's the federal gov't who can only regulate airlines, not individual states.

The federal gov't is pretty much a waste at accomplishing much so this nonsense will go on for a VERY.... LONG.... TIME.
