However, one thing is for sure, the vast majority of our population can now afford to fly as they could not before. The pay and quality of life for airline employees is now significantly worse. Conclusion, lots of people now fly because the airline industry (employees) subsidize the fares. With the carnage of the industry post regulation I think it's safe to say that the industry can't support the current fares either.
All the airlines continue to struggle with no end in sight.
