But regional airlines are entry level jobs. Where else in the world (outside of the military) could anyone get a job flying a jet with 250 hours and a wet commercial certificate? Or become a "captain" at 1500 hours with nothing more than a few hundred hours of Cessna command time under their belt? The standards dropped so incredibly low that regionals will forever be seen as substandard.

Want less expensive health care?
Deregulate healthcare, allow foreign drug manufacturers into the US market, revamp the FDA...
...and let the free market INCREASE supply to offset the increase in demand.
It's really quite simple. The reason it isn't is not because of capitalism per se. It's all the over-regulation.

And you're a typical conservative who thinks all liberal ideas are uninformed and moronic. That's called hypocrisy. Why, because you used to work in finance, you think you know best? And I can assure you that I am just as educated and possibly more so than you. There are people with PhDs that agree with me. That doesn't make my opinion wrong.

And what has been the corresponding offset to consumers (ie. the public) as a result of deregulation?
Lower ticket prices/costs.
You are the moron who thinks you can have your cake and eat it too....just like all entitlement-minded, uneducated idiots who have no true understanding what capitalism is or how it works (much less what "free markets" really mean).
Here's a hint: if it's regulated, it isn't a free-market. And if it's not a free-market, you can't point at it and say it doesn't work.
Idiot.
LOL
That must mean they're right, eh, because they have PhDs?
You are a kool-aid swilling lemming who spews uninformed, trite pablum like "unfettered capitalism".
Move to North Korea. You'll be more at home there.

Don't confuse unfettered capitalism with with crony capitalism...basically you have corrupt government still behind the wheel. This is different from free markets.

You don't need to fly anywhere. There are millions of Americans that will never set foot on an aircraft and still lead normal lives. You can also drive.
However, I suggest that life is quite necessary to most of us and is a legitimate need. You'll pay anything to live.
There's no comparison.
