I would give blood for JetBlue based on my experiences with them in the past, but now that I live in a major city that they don't (read: cant) serve, I have to deal with the options our system has afforded me, and often pay a premium to fly on other countries' national airlines that are regulated by their citizens. This article is pretty shallow, but points to a common problem we see in software, with much larger overhead. As you grow to a point where you're serving something close to a majority of consumers as the lone option, and you have corporate "responsibilities"(i long for a better term, as doing that is not responsible in a general sense) how do you cater to those who are less vital financially? It's just infeasible to do that for airlines trying to turn a profit. I often imagine the Eisenhower plan being deployed under current umbrella, and end with the idea that I'd probably have to change transport seven times if I wanted to drive coast to coast. I know for Delta, for example, I have at least ten friends that have been stranded for over 12 hours (and up to 36) by problems either logistical or technical. And only those with sizeable Twitter followers are able to shame the company into action... Airlines have to distinguish, because the cost of service to the provider is so wildly high. It's probably the most opposite support model of software, but in the deregulated age, we can't expect anything less. It's nigh time that we let the state ensure equal transportation for everyone.
