The Obama administration lost 10 billion on the auto bailout, YOUR money was used to bailout a company that you got nothing out of

They wanted to save jobs, that's why they bailed them out

If they wouldn't of been bailed out, they probably would've sold there property, intellectual property .....
Your first three words shows it was a political answer you gave.

How about you keep out of anything related to labor unions?

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Why dont more airlines do this?

They have always done this, in fact about half of air cargo is shipped on passenger planes.

Start a WH petition and post to DDMS. I'm dead serious.

Lets say you got into that room. What would you demand from the airlines?

As I've said above, I think high on the list would be some legal requirements obligating the airlines to some minimal standard in their contract of carriage (and barring some of the clauses that get them off the hook now).

Removing immunity from antitrust rules.

Putting reserve requirements on them in proportion to marketshare.

As he says in this article, the government won't let them fail just like they didn't let the banks fail, so they don't really care about their business model, they just make sure wall st is happy then they can get their bonuses

The reserve will come out of your pocket as a traveller. Let it come from the tax money of those who aren't traveling...
