It just so happens that US Airways runs 70% + load factors out of Charlotte,

That tells me nothing. How much of that traffic originates out of Charlotte? In any case, many Charlotteans find the drive to Greensboro too long - and will use USAir out of Douglas, but there is a widespread resentment of USAir in Charlotte, and their free market principles exercised means that they will fly other airlines any chance they get. Again, as a capitalist - I certainly understand freedom of rates - but you fail to understand that consumers have choices too - and don't want lousy airlines subsidized. You need to understand both sides of capitalism, friend.

So, Mr. Free Market Purist, care to join me in advocating against any government bailouts of USAir? Can we agree on that?

You sucked too much Koolaid. There is not government bailout of US Airways, and this merger will certainly not invite one in the future.
