Airline Quality Rating study: failure across the board

To say that Americans detest the airline industry would be a mild understatement. Remember that it was the GOP who bailed this lovely bunch out with billions in taxpayer dollars only a few years ago and what did the US receive for it's investment? Massive executive salaries, salary cutbacks from everyone else, less on time, higher costs to fly, increasingly cramped spaces and an industry that doesn't really give a damn about what consumers think.

As we bail out the newest bunch of freeloading money wasters on Wall Street, think about the airline bailout. Just as business always asks "what's in it for me?" it's high time we ask the same question to business. The bailout model really needs to change.
