Re: -sigh- ...and it's one heck of a lot cheaper to fly now than it was in the 1970's, taking inflation into account. That's largely due to the cost cutting inspired by competition from discount airlines.
Airline deregulation has been an unquestionably good thing, unless you were/are an airline monopolist or someone with an unlimited travel budget.
Yeah, we can all pine for the "good ol' days", but we need to remember that airline travel in the '70's was so expensive that only businessmen and the rich flew much. Cheap family travel by air just didn't happen.
