its no secret that airlines collude and collaborate to share the profit and avoid competing against THEMESELVES because it works. I wonder what ever happened about the probe the feds started about the antitrust violation. Maybe they were all paid off. IDK

I would imagine that the airline CEO's, just like the rest of corporate America, are engaged in highly leveraged stock buy-backs to keep the stock price up and to keep the bonuses rolling in.
A few years ago, I met a former UAL flight attendant who told me when she realized after bankruptcy, that she was making less than she was ten years prior, it was time to leave.

As you are probably aware, all stock buybacks are is executive compensation due to the stock options they receive.

He's a known troll on the forums at FI.com who is apparently trying to infest this one as well by masquerading under the name of someone that used to actually contribute over there before everyone abandoned ship. Apparently he got tired of talking to himself. Not sure how he hasn't been banned yet.
