BOY... you got that RIGHT... I have booked 9 Flights since January... And the Prices EVEN FOR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS was within 5% of each other. And in the Case of 5 DIFFERENT AIRLINES from Chicago, IL to Manila, PH. The price on 4 of them were IDENTICAL $1,255.67, the 5th was 1,276.21!
the only time lawmakers are angry is when they don't get their cut.
Lawmakers, all over the world, know nothing about their basic job , the law making, so how can one blame them for their " ignorance " about airlines N perils faced by them.

Wouldn't it be fun to see the politicians call in the "big education" moguls at (name your Big 10 University) to have them explain their yearly 20% tuition increased? Nahhhhh. Never happen.
And here I thought their basic job, from their perspective, is reelection. That one they know ALL about.
well said my friend.
So in that light they should renamed as Re-electioneers !
