I care

Rather than be squelched, I for one am interested to see how another air carrier can do so well in the current global market, where our American carriers (save Southwest and Frontier), can find profit anywhere, nor will they anytime soon.

It's good to see an ally doing something right that we need to emulate.

It is an important post. The airline industry has always
pressured the FAA and Congress for less security not more.
Their excuse is profitability. If El Al, Southwest and Frontier
can show a profit in these difficult times and while implementing
increased security measures then this proves more security
does not translate into bankruptcy for the Airline Industry.

dennisw, you do remember that 4 US jets were used as Weapons of
Mass Destruction on September 11th 2001. US jets, not International jets.

Not to mention JetBlue, which has become my airline of choice whenever I fly to a city it services. Threads like this are important because they demonstrate that it's unnecessary, even unwise, for the government to bail out failing airlines.
