Why do only airlines have to "manage " their resources to achieve certain punctuality standards? Why no "deterrent" on other businesses "running things too close to the line"?
So you have experience with businesses that don't meet your expectations... but you don't want anything done about it? Why would improving the airline industry make your life worse? The inequality would really bother you? Sounds like you'd be happy if every industry was crap, as long as they are equally crap.
