TD,
Management getting reregulated would not do anything for better work rules, pay raises, and job security. If you really believe that then you need to look at the history of the bankruptcies and furloughs during the regulated years. One could argue that being reregulated would allow the companies to reduce much more service now causing more furloughs for a much longer period of time. (They could raise prices, lose customers, and still make more money, and not have the pesky airplanes and pilots to pay). Reregulation is clearly not the answer, smarter management is the way forward. As a comparison, Railway Labor Act is regulation that is designed for the 'consumer' and protects management, not us. Reregulation is clearly not positive.
