That only proves that people that fly more often than most tend to have an opinion, not that it's a smart one
. It's easy to be smart in some things (drinking champagne and flying the world on the money you make from credit card applications is a nice example), but knowing your limitations is another. 95% of people cannot even read a balance sheet, but feel they are qualified to have an opinion about the financials of an airline.....a highly complicated business. And then there's all kinds of info on the internet that looks plausible, but isn't.
Glad your post has a bit more substance.

That's the problem with all the news about government spending and the financial crisis. People don't know what the numbers mean anymore, 400 million gets to be 4 billion gets to be 40 billion..... who cares or knows the difference
