Every time new regulations are proposed there's always someone there to tell us why it's the doom of industry.

They claimed it when the government mandated free cancellations within 24 hours. They claimed it when the government would no longer let airlines hold passengers hostage for 6+ hours during bad weather. It's just not true.
