A tour de force from Gary Leff dismantling the case for undoing deregulation of the airlines.

A Big Movement Is Coming To Re-Regulate The Airlines, And Make Air Travel Worse - View from the Wing

Sitaraman's upcoming book can be seen as a starting gun for arguments over regulating the airline industry. The arguments for this used to be unserious, by folks like Robert Kuttner. That's changing, and with a direct line to people in power. People who care about not making air travel worse need to wake up to the threat, though there is also much we should be doing that would make air travel better.
