Congratulations to Continental Airlines (#1 Airline Industry) and Southwest Airlines (#3 Airline Industry and #7 Worldwide Corporations)!!

All the hard working men and women at both companies deserve the recognition they have earned!

With due respect to A320Flyer, you may be right about partly and/or completely NATIONALIZED and/or government SUBSIDIZED international airlines that have the privilege of entering and serving United States commercial aviation markets.

Capitalism and free market competition is a great thing, but only when the playing field is kept as level as reasonably possible for ALL the competitors.
