Re-regulate the airline industry.

In 1978, the United States Government deregulated the airline industry. As a result, airlines were permitted to charge fares the likes of which are unprecedented and do not make sense. I.e., a flight on an airline from Cleveland to New York may cost $500, but a flight from Chicago to New York, a longer distance, might cost $350. This act also caused unfair competition, forcing airlines out of business and airline employees to lose their jobs. Even airlines which are not going out of business but loosing money are forcing pilots and other employees to go on furlough. Flight crew must work long hours for little pay at entry level positions,often working an 18 hour duty day at very low pay rates, and aren't paid for the preflight paperwork, etc. that must be completed before departure.
