Market forces at work. If their business model didn't work somebody else's will. The airlines either need to charge more and realize fewer people will fly or figure out how to manage costs and still provide reasonable fares. A gubment bailout will make the airlines into a flying Amtrak(sp?).

Au contraire my friend. The airlines need to charge even LESS and provide better service. What with internet booking sites, no one wants to fly across the country for a premium fare today. People want to get there and still have enough pocket money for their vacation.

UAL is the emloyee owned company with trained puppy CEO's and the highest labor costs of all airlines. The model was fatally flawed all along.
