I don't think we should let them threaten us.. if they want to
close down, fine! There are others to take their place. That's why I 
can't understand having to bail out the airlines yet again and protect 
them from strikes, etc... there are quite a few airlines that would 
give their eye teeth for their slots at the major airports. Big 
business likes to chant "it's supply and demand" or "that's business" 
while they are screwing *us* over so, same to them! Go ahead and 
close, we can stimulate the economy by starting new companies with 
LOANS, not flat out gifts instead of flushing more money down the 
failures.
