• In Defense of the Airlines
  "Price competition is the free market's way. When the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) regulated fares – price floors – airlines competed in terms of frills. You paid far more for a ticket than today, but you got better food. Those were very expensive meals, if you compare ticket costs, then vs. now (discounting for inflation). I prefer cheap flights and peanuts (where the peanut allergy police have not banned them.)" - Gary North, July 29, 2000 [LewRockwell.com]

• Transportation’s Airline Reregulation Folly
