The WalMartization of the airline industry is driven by two things:

1. The American public doesn't want to pay for anything (that's why WalMart is so big).

2. Some people will suffer any indignity to get a job. They'll work for substandard wages and benefits (the OTHER reason why WalMart is so big).

Greedy managers will prey on the ignorance of those who will debase themselves. Curious how the common thread is the Rah! Rah! attitude demonstrated by the Kool-Aid drinkers employed by those companies, be it B6, VX or WalMart.

They work for substandard wage/benefit packages while the Walton family consistently heads the list of the world's richest individuals. So, who is the sucker in this picture?
