Let Them Die

UsAirways seems on the brink of death, and there are many in Congress and across the country who cry out for us to bail out these losers.

And what happened at Christmas cemented in my mind the need to just put them down like a sick race horse.

Windsor Locks -- Thousands of people were stranded in airports across the country Christmas day because of computer glitches and a massive employee sick call. 

Dangerous weather and airline problems delayed and cancelled flights across the country.  When travelers like David Berv finally arrived at Bradley International Airport, they remained destined to suffer further. 

The "massive employee sickcall" seems a little suspicious. Could a union illegial strike be to blame?

Anyways, these dinosaurs deserve to die. They are overpriced and incompotent while offering overpriced shotty service.

Just like Woolworth died and left room for K-Mart, K-Mart is dying and making room for Wal~Mart. Someday Wal~Mart will die and make room for someone else.

The way free markets work is that you must innovate or you die. UsAirways, United, and Delta don't innovate. JetBlue and Southwest do.

Here is a good example. For JetBlue or Southwest, flying from BWI to Tampa, FL on March 5th and Returning on the 12th they offer fares ranging from $79 to $219, one way. For USAirways, their rate is $219-$459. Much more expensive.

I say them them die, and allow innovaters to take over.
