Times were different then. The economy in the US and Europe was stronger and there was money to do the things you're talking about. Airlines, as you know, are cutting back and charging for anything they can think of. I haven't heard of one new airline to start up recently that hasn't been affiliated with a major. Again, I like the idea that something needs to change but until the economy is strong in the US, I don't see all these airlines popping up.
