Hero pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger told a House subcommittee yesterday airline deregulation was driving pilots like him from the cockpit.
BUT!…
Not so fast, there, sir.
Airline deregulation allows middle-class Joes like me (no Jane at home with me) to fly cross-country in coach for less than $400, often less than $300. Pre dereg, adjusted for inflation, I’d be paying $1,000 a ducat or so.
Therefore, lower-end middle-class Joes like me wouldn’t be flying. Airlines would then run fewer flights.
And, pilots wouldn’t have cockpits to vacate in the first place.
