I prefer to blame gremlins.

Seems like airlines and trains (in the US) have a lot in common: too expensive, shitty service, tons of delays, safety record like a block of Swiss cheese.
Only half of the above are issues stemming from the business philosophy of many American companies: profit over all else (including safety).
The rest is the nature of the transportation beast: how can we even get close to a profit? Fuel costs alone totally rape everybody.
The funny thing is that despite how much everybody bitches about air travel in the US, they all still do it. Weird. Nobody gives a shit but they still need it.
How can something so crucial to business activity and everyday peoples' personal lives be treated like a red-headed retard? Oh yeah, entitlement issues.
"But why do I have to pay $600 to fly?! I could drive for much cheaper." Just drive then.
"What's up with these delays?" You can't pull a plane over.

"At least you get to land.
I never get to land!"
