Default Air Piracy

On May 23, mom-from-missouri entered an OP about the horrible air travel customer service that her family encountered which ruined their vacation. She asked how the airlines can get away with this. On June 10, I responded that one reason that they can is because these companies don't compete, they collude.

Just to see how extensively they conspire, click on "Airlines pay $504M to settle price fixing scam" and think about it the next time you pay to check just one piece of luggage.
