They're not.
I've done a lot of reading on this stuff since the United airlines beat down and the airline industry is in its worst state in years.
American Airlines can treat its customers a certain way cuz they can. There's been a lot of mergers in recent years and thus less competition in the industry. 80 percent of flights are controlled by 4 major airlines.
Boycotting American Airlines will be pretty tough depending on where in the US you want to go.
Prices aren't going to drop.
The industry needs an overhaul. There was something the government did that allowed airlines to merge. Gotta take that away. And airlines have so far been successful somehow from keeping foreign airlines from introducing themselves to the US market.
If the government can introduce new change that'd make it easier for foreign competition to grow over here it'd go a long way towards airline reform and getting prices to drop.
I think if the US airlines have had a lot of healthy competition in the mix, United Airlines would've dropped off the face of the earth already.
