I can't agree with this more, however, being retired on the 767, I'm sure you really knew what it was like when the people in this industry were actually respected (by management and passengers alike). Everyone takes this industry for granted and it looks like the days of the $29 one way fare from Chicago to Vegas are over, thank god! Flying should never be cheaper than driving, as time is money. Things are about to change in a very big way by this fall. Hopefully the changes bring back some respect to this industry to those that truly deserve it.
