- This is absolute nonsense. I'm a fairly frequent flier and I have
- no doubt the prices *I* pay are lower than before deregulation.
- As for plane crashes, I would *love* to see the documentation

- been dropping steadily since deregulation, despite the fact that
- the volume of air traffic has increased dramatically during that
- time.

- Methinks Ms. Hauben must be a nervous flier.
