I don't want you to have to support the airlines unless you use them. That's my whole point. I don't want to support them either. If the Federal government stopped supporting the ones that can't support themselves, then the overcrowded airways would fix themselves. In my opinion, an airport serves a locality. Therefore the locality could chose to support the local airport in order to support local business. But the Feds shouldn't be involved in subsidizing the air travel industry. <br /> <br />Which leads to my next point. If we can't stop the Feds from supporting Amtrak, the sickest little pig, then everyone else starts screaming 'Hey, where's my cut?' Then everyone goes broke supporting industries which are not earning their way. Next thing you know, we act like a bunch of Europeans; Socialist to the max and whining for the old glory days when we were a great nation while watching our standard of living plummet. No thanks. - Ed
