Delta having one person at the checkin desk, six hour waits, and so forth. Police called in to quell the angry mob. Where is all the money going in these industries? The employees are not well paid. There aren’t ten employees per customer, the way you see in provincial Italian museums or places like that. It’s not like the airline industry is obsolete (“no one flies anymore”) – we’re not talking about the wagon-striping industry. My flying over the past year has been limited, but the planes I have been on have always been full, even to places like Riverton, Wyoming, where I’ve flown four times in the past year and a half.

There is money in cars and air travel, and it’s going to someone. There’s enough money at Delta to double the check-in staff at the largest airport in the largest city in America (and by doubling I mean bring in one more person per shift). I read that Delta’s CEO Richard Anderson made $11 million in his first four months at Delta in 2007; maybe digging into that a bit would get a flight attendant or two, whose median salary is less than $40,000?
And what about an Amtrak that can get people where they need to go in high-density corridors like the coasts? (One of our oldest posts on this topic here.)
The old saying is that money is like manure (substitute stronger words if you like), and is only any good if it gets spread around.
