And the reason why you and I can have the privilege of complaining about the airlines is because of the deregulation of air travel.  Back in the uberregulated days, a flight might have been 500 or 600 dollars inflation-adjusted, and it was only for the very rich.  My father never flew on an airplane until he was 27 years old, and he grew up solidly upper-middle class.  Now the middle class can afford to fly with some degree of regularity.

Airline regulation was corporatist. Nobody advocates that.
