Affordable Air Act = Obama Air?

Should the government be more involved in air travel? The feeble attempt by the department of Justice to block the merger of USAirways and American ended with a whimper with the DOJ caving to 99.7% of what the airlines set out to do.  After saying repeatedly that this merger would harm competition, increase prices and limit choices, the airlines finally threw a bone at the DOJ resulting in settlement.  Many believe that the airlines are having their way with the traveler, increasing fares, adding fees, limiting services and changing rules to suit them.  Airlines have collected tens of billions in fees, and are logging profits in billions.  All airline stocks are doing extremely well.  So with less competition, who is looking out for the best interest of the traveler? Now we know that the DOJ and DOT are not, fasten your seat belts.  By the way, if you do like your airline program, you can keep it.  Period! www.premieretravel.com
