Free market capitalism? Hasn't existed in the airlines, since the the air commerce act of 1926.
ZERO meddling 'in the pay issue'? The Railway Labor Act is the government telling us that our unions cannot organise work action if we feel we are not fairly compensated.
I think they've got the wool pulled over your eyes Juice - free market capitalism has never existed in the modern airline industry. Don't let them fool you into thinking any different.
So its one way or the other. Remove the regulations all around, let labor do their thing and management do theirs - That'd be free market capitalism.
