The age of unreliability is a silly idea. Passenger aircraft very rarely crash these days. A new car is guaranteed to start and run for years without being a "lemon". Most things seem to me to be a lot MORE reliable than in decades gone by. He's wrong here too, those type of charges cause me to feel SATISFACTION, not dissatisfaction. I have always objected to subsidizing others: <The ticky-tack fees that the airlines are now hitting you with for checking extra bags are another way to pass on costs - with the price of jet fuel today it makes no sense to subsidize a passenger with more bags relative to someone with a carry on. These types of charges cause passenger dissatisfaction, but that isn't very relevant to the airlines now since most competition is on price.> Most problems I experience are as a result of the ever-increasing depredations of governments. What's weird is that people vote for more of the same every election, but then moan about governments. Libertarian votes remain near zero. That baffles me. Mqurice
