Airhead...
Put simply.. the consumers have no choice and the airlines know this. They create local monopolies.. and by doing so eliminate choice in that market. By building up their control of markets, and essentially not competing against each other, they distort the market. In other markets, such as Europe and the Far East, where there are viable rail alternatives, service standards are considerably higher. It is market abuse which is creating this problem.. and millions of dollars in "donations" to election campaigns by the airlines which are preventing a solution.
