New May I take this one, Ash?
I doubt that Mr. Brown is happy with the demise of commercial aviation per se. it's just that and industry so thoroughly fucked up as the commercial airline "system" is (as you ain't seen the half of it, yet), deserves to shrivel up and die from its own stupidity and largesse. Darwin at work. Now, nature abhors a Hoover, and, assuming there really is such a thing as a "free market place" , Virginia, the need for high-speed transportation will be met somehow, perhaps by high-speed rail (YAY!) or commercial aviation run by someone other than the complete morons driving the current system into the ground.

Get $10B, fire 10,000. My Ass! To hell with them and the dragon they rode in on!

How's that, Ash?

After re-reading Ashton's post, I see that you interpreted it right and I did not. Will be more carefull next time. The last paragraph threw mw off.
