Nah, I was talking about @deltheking 's (missed-his-point-IMo) post about "Deregulation" when the topic was "baggage fees".
I get the "competition", "capitalism" and "share-pricing" reasons for all this- but I seriously believe that once the dust settles and the shares do go up, Elliott group will pump-and-dump WN stock like it was radioactive and leave the airline in a worse position than before all these changes, and now since the operating culture is just like the legacies, get bought by one ... I pray I'm hella wrong about this, though.
... and as my refrain goes, all these changes to me just mean I'm gonna end up spending a lot more money just to have what I had before 😕
