If you or a family member has ever bought an airplane ticket for under $1,000, you probably like this guy.

If you work for an airline that has started flying in the past 30 years, you probably like this guy.

If you are in the bottom 50% of the seniority list for any airline, and you appreciate the fact that you have a job, you probably like this guy.

I know a few pilots try to argue that deregulation was bad for the aviation industry, but I just don't see it. Deregulation is the reason we have such a large and robust airline industry where almost anyone in the country can take a flight on a long distance trip, and is the reason that most of us has jobs.
