An interesting, mid-80s take on how airline deregulation in 1978 affected safety standards in the industry. The author's conclusion as to what had to happen to improve the situation is still true on so many issues today; the public must educate themselves and take action.

Very detailed, long rant on consequences of deregulation act.
