And it also didn't end when TWA, Eastern Airlines, Braniff or Tower failed either. It seems oddly perverse that these same American carriers who made billions by "nickle and diming" their customers with fees, penalties and taking basic services away now want a bailout from them. And it's hard to imagine a future where these same carriers don't go back to these same practices with a fervor in order to pay that money back or return to profitability.
