The reality is that the market is not operating normally in air services in the US. It will not do so without radical reform.
I suggest
1. No airline to have more that 25% of the take off/landing slots at any airport
2. Allow foreign owners to enter the market, on a bilateral basis
3. Establish minimum standards for protection of passengers
4. Remove the "get of jail free" card provided by allowing airlines to avoid helping people for a "weather" delay
5. If an airline goes bankrupt, the administrator should auction off their assets and slots to the highest bidder, subject to the restrictions outlined above on maximum slots per airport
