Yes, you're undoubtedly correct -- the reason the US airlines are in the toilet is because the European and Asian airlines aren't allowed to make large investments and to control the US airlines.

Thanks for the laugh.

Of course, there aren't any failures among European or Asian airlines, are there? None whatsoever. None that have failed and none that offer crappy service.

Yes, I have. And since those airlines don't take me everywhere I want to go, I've made a choice to focus my business with an airline (and with an alliance) that takes me everywhere I want to go. Your mileage may vary.
