As to the idea of adopting a business practice that loses money: As a major defender of the airlines, what about the practice of "predatory pricing"--an airline that sells seats at a loss. Specifically, I cite of case of Vanguard Airlines' (now defunct) effort at competing against American Air some years ago. Is the latter OK, while a non-airline business doing the same thing is wrong?? Finally, there is nothing illegal about refusing to do business with someone. Predatory pricing, however, is a violation of the Federal Anti-Trust Act. I shall await your defense, PHX.

Just what in my post caused you to infer that I was making any remarks about "predatory pricing?" Just what sort of drugs are you on, Butch? Maybe you should share...then we can all see the airline cops who are constantly coming after us!
"Cuff 'em, Butch-O!"
