I agree with your statement except for the "no innovation". Actually, pre-deregulation, US carriers were known for their innovations in safety and in-flight service as well as in the computerized reservations systems. AA's SABRE and UA's APOLLO reservations systems were gold standards for the worldwide airline industry.

Obviously, the US airline industry has turned into a mass "bus" system for the masses over the past 30 years.
