I had read shortly after 9-11 that the commercial airline industry in the US had a cummulative loss from the time it began, its really not that old of an industry. Its never been ran properly. Ever. Too many routes losing too much money. Its not been so long ago that you could be on a plane that was only half full. Today's problems are far different than just bad management, although that heritage is going to be there for a while. I really hope it recovers, my oldest son is a commercial pilot.
