Show Notes

Airline troubles: From deregulation to todays chaos - The podcast delves into the history of airline deregulation in 1978, which led to increased competition and lower prices initially. However, it also resulted in bankruptcies, mergers, pay cuts, and reduced service, particularly in small towns. Today, issues like air traffic controller shortages, outdated technology, and vulnerability to oil shocks or storms exacerbate problems. The solution lies in smart regulation and investments in controllers, airports, and innovation to ensure fair competition and better access for all cities.
