There is a show on television that sums it all up, its called American Greed. The almighty dollar; people in this county stop at nothing; ethics go out the window.

They make try to make commuters lives tough. If they do they will disrupt the industry as a whole. So many people commute. We should just take some personal pride and not push it too hard when trying to get to work.

Note: I commute across the country West coast to East Coast

In Europe, many citizens have gotten something straight.
The governments fear the people.
In the good ole USA; the people fear the government.

Curious, what provisions are there the EU pilot groups must go through before striking? Anything as restrictive as the RLA?
