They serve a large portion of the midsection of this country and without them many communities will not be served.
I think one of the questions we need to pose:
Is there value to the the industry (all of its employees) the economy, and the flying public to let one or two of these "legacy" airlines fail for good, without any bailouts or help.
Many other industrys have had success allowing this to happen.
