Yes, exactly. Air Florida and Valujet are two good examples. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I was referring to how the free market put them out of business when they buried a planeload of passengers. Free markets don't like deadly products (even when approved by the feds). |

Read about this one the day it happened. The pilot did a very good job of setting the bird down, but they had to put him on the shortest runway. He blew the tire after the plane was pretty much safely down. |
