Americans want cheap fares, not hot meals in coach. so blame American consumers, not the airlines.

I suppose taxpayers never bailed out the US airlines or supported the US commercial aviation infrastructure with public funds Everyone wants cheap fares, not just Americans.

The culprit for the current state of US aviation is not the consumer it is the institutional shareholders. A problem for much of US industry....
