Gromit, you seem to avoid the point of foreign competition for domestic routes. The question is why are the domestic airline companies offering such poor customer service compared to most foreign airlines? If a U.S. airline passenger had a choice of flying on an airline that treats them like a customer versus one that thinks they are doing them a favor selling them a ticket, which do you think the passenger would choose? American, Delta, and United would not want to compete with foreign airline companies either here or overseas, they would need to improve their service, or close their doors. Competition is what makes businesses run better, and the domestic airlines do not compete, they have a monopoly in this country.
