And then it was realized how much nicer a smoke-free world was. Not to mention the employees health and less maintenance for the airlines (lower cost).

Employees' health? ROFLMAO. They did lower their costs by decreasing ventilation. That's why the airlines went along in the first place. Now, diseases like flu, colds, TB, and other nasties are becoming common for frequent flyers and the pollution level is, at last count, 28% higher than when smoking was permitted.

Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

By caving to political agenda the airlines have done more harm than good to their businesses, industry, fliers and shareholders.

Furthermore, I speculate that had the government honored the 2nd Amendment and the airlines allowed passengers to carry concealed hand guns that the passengers with guns would have overpowered the terrorists on 9/11. Save for one critical point, the terrorists wouldn't have masterminded the strategy they did -- albeit with guns instead of box cutters -- because they would have calculated the high probability of failure due to righteous individuals with concealed guns as opposed to the disarmed sheeple they had to barely over power -- the only measurable resistance was on Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania.
