Administration Investigates 5 Airlines For Price-Gouging After Amtrak Crash
2015-07-25
[HUFFPOO] WASHINGTON -- The government has launched a price-gouging investigation into five airlines that allegedly increased airfare after an Amtrak crash in Philadelphia halted rail service in May, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said at a breakfast Friday.

The Department of Transportation sent letters to five airlines -- Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, American and United -- requesting information on pricing for air travel through the Northeast Corridor, Foxx told reporters.

Foxx said the investigation will "begin the process of uncovering whether in fact airlines drove up prices in direct response" to the May 12 incident.
One of the reasons I travel F-150. A pox on the odious Delta sardine packers.

#4  It's an odious discussion every time supply or demand change.
Government, if anything, makes everything worse.
I wish these mental midgets would shut up and sit down with their whole marxist claptrap.

#3  Raise prices for rarer resources?
No! Muster the soviet forces,
Go reinstate order
From border to border,
And feed caviar to your horses.
