Hell, consider, for example, relative newcomers Southwest Airlines and JetBlue's method of doing business versus Delta and American. total different mindset, total different culture.

Actually Jet Blue and the other newcomer's advantage is that they don't pay out hundreds of millions of dollars a year in pension because they haven't been around long enough to have pensioned retirees.

That will change in time and my prediction is that regulation will come back lest the industry become unsafe as corporate entropy kicks in.
