De-regulation forced airline pricing to be extremely cost sensitive, especially to fuel and labor costs.

It seems like several here believe that airlines have finally gotten industry capacity reduced to the point where they can now price as they see fit.

Oh well, why worry, right? Let's just go back to the 50's "Que Sera, Sera" or the millenials' "It is what it is".
