You can argue that Continental, Eastern, PanAm, Northwest and TWA would still be around but the total Major Airline flying would be about 1/2 of what the Majors flew pre-Covid. Under the CBA they was no incentive to add routes and definitely there was no competition. Counting all the flying that the current Majors and Regionals do we would be lucky to see 10% if deregulation never happened. That means 90% of us would never have had jobs to start with!

Some food for thought...
At the macro level, the “looking down from 90,000 foot view”... is the US Aviation Industry truly “deregulated”. The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 brought down artificial barriers to competition and entrance to the market. Anyone with enough money to burn could start an airline.
But today we still have the Railway Labor Act, FAR’s and riding herd on it all is the FAA who’s stated purpose is to promote aviation safety AND commerce (which sometimes conflict with each other).
....just tossing a grenade into the conversation 😁

As far as the RLA goes, I would rather work at a unionized airline than non-Union. I have worked at both.

Give a good tip or get the tip in your dip.
