Why are you on FreeRepublic? Don't believe in supply and demand?

Did I say that I wanted the government to shut them down, or regulate their prices? No. I just said they give lousy service and screwed residents in Charlotte for all the taxpayer paid largesse given to them by the city of Charlotte, who would rather drive 2 hours to Greensboro to get more sane fares, rather than using Charlotte's Douglas airport 10 minutes up the road.

Is is ok with you that I despise them, and would rather choose any other airline than use them? Do free market principles apply to us too? Thank you so much.

You are talking out both sides of your mouth. It just so happens that US Airways runs 70% + load factors out of Charlotte, so apparently the supply and demand fee market works. You are welcome to go anywhere you want, but your whining about charging high prices BECAUSE THEY COULD sounded an awful lot like a liberal. It just so happens that a lot of people that think they are capitalists aren't. You are in that camp.

And as long as we're talking about "supply and demand" and "free markets", I don't want another DIME of my taxpayer money going to bail them out. I'm sure as a free market purist - you would heartily agree, EH??
