But, if customers really valued this predictability, wouldn't a US airline offer it and take all the business? It's not important enough to consumers, which is why the EU has to regulate it. And I'd be very interested to see

Regulation imposes those costs and more on real humans and rarely heads off fuckups. Market forces can correct here. Vote with your wallet.

FAA has an important role, but market forces won't tolerate an airline that experiences crashes, even rare ones. Airlines are highly incented to be safe, both by regulation and by the market itself.

How badly did SWA's past high profile failures affect them? I'd say not so very much. Yes, some short term damage, but we're talking about an industry where no one stands out from a quality perspective. Everyone is seen as

This issue always confuses me. Unions are neither always good nor always bad. Advocacy and discussion is part of the process. More power to Apple if it wants to attempt to convince its workers that forming a union will not be in their bes
