The business market has always been price sensitive, within itself. The airline business has been bitterly competitive for many, many years. The cons… - Robert Crandall

I don't think business travel is going to change dramatically. You will have three very large multinational mega carriers competing against one another, and the only thing I think that will drive is a greater focus on service levels. Because there will be three big carriers and because business travel is tremendously important, carriers rather than focusing maniacally as they have in the past on growth will focus on hanging onto their share of the business traffic, and that's going mean more attention to better service. People able to pay business-class and first-class fares are going to see improved service levels.

I don’t give a sh*t about the low-cost carriers. I just told you a minute ago. If the legacy carriers cannot get their costs down to match the low-cost carriers, they’re finished. So, the question is, will they get their costs down? I don’t know. You know, [we probably won’t] know for 10 years.

The infrastructure of the country, all the roads, all the bridges, all the water systems are just not going to be maintained. To the extent they are not maintained, our ability to compete with countries that are maintaining their infrastructure is compromised. What has been one of the great strengths of the United States over the years is just going to diminish. This political extremism that we've fallen victim to is doing very bad things to the economy.
