I thought I saved some money for my trip around the moons of Nibia and round the Antares malestrom.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!!!!
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!!!!
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!!!!

Politically, Shane says, there was no way that Kahn, with the support of the Carter administration, should have succeeded. But they put together an unlikely coalition of liberals who were willing to go against the wishes of organized labor to bring low fares to the masses and conservatives willing to buck captains of industry and Wall Street to reduce government's active involvement in the economy.

Seriously, this rocks. I wish there would be a sequel.

MasterThief: /The Search for Real, Honest, No-shiat Free Markets

I'm no economist, and I don't even play one on the Intertubes, but I'll hazard a guess that deregulation "works" with flight prices for (relative) lack of monopoly as well as number of alternatives to flying as a means of transportation.

/I expect gubment subsidies, providing air traffic control, security, etc., don't hurt either...
//Free market? Bosh.

Kahn Air?

First time the original headline gets a +1?

I'm not sure this will be mentioned in this thread. So just to be on the safe side.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!

Don't seem that low to me!

I blame Bush.

This IS Seti-Alpha 5!

Bingo. Free markets work where the market can act freely, which is not everywhere (try bartering for the lowest price when you've just had a heart attack).

dang .. Master thief beat me to it

FarkinFarker: Kahn Air?

Thanks, I now have to explain to my boss why I ruined my keyboard with Gatorade.

Photoshop material, right here.

Far above Cayuga waters,

I believe this shall complete almost every Fark cliche. NOT all but, most.

Yours is the superior intellect!

KAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Hmmm, maybe I should try this...

You are...and always shall be...my friend.

So this guy caused 9/11?

This guy is awesome, i sat down with him about 2 weeks ago in collegetown (right by cornell campus in ithaca) and had a beer with him. I live sorta near his office, so when i saw him at the bar, i said hello. He's one of the smartest people i've ever sat and talked to.


/getting a kick out of these replies

The_Sponge: But Reagan still gets major props for firing the air traffic controllers....that was teh awesome.

the spate of airline accidents that came after was awesome also, just in a different way

Botany Bay?

BOTANY BAY!?

Is the Hero tag waiting in a Southwest line?

Suck-it commies!

Ithaca is like 35 miles from where I am.

It's like a freakin' communist paradise. I think there's two Republicans in the whole place and they have them tied to a pole in the center of town.

Actually, there's a town square called the Ithaca Commons. It's nice except since it's a free hangout, it attracts the riff-raff. In Ithaca, "Riff-Raff" is 8-foot tall guys with more piercings than Dennis Rodman having an insecurity attack, dressed head to toe in black, with black fingernail polish and white face paint - even in 1995!

One time on Halloween night I went up to Ithaca and made it a point to walk around in khakis and a polo shirt. If anyone asked, I told them it was my costume.

Up here the intolerant little progressives have bumper stickers on their gas-guzzling, 40-year-old foreign cars that say "Ithaca, NY: Ten square miles surrounded by reality." And every time I see that, I think to myself, man would that look good on the back of an SUV next to George W. Bush and anti-abortion stickers. Because it's true, but not for the reasons they think.

I came to the thread to ensure atleast one:

"KKKAAAAAAHHHHNNNNN!!!!"

was present. And I was not disappointed.

The last time I was at the airport, by the book, hours seemed like days.

Has nothing to do with how 9/11 eliminated any concern about late arrivals, late takeoff, lost luggage, crap service, stews that turn the frickin' plane around if you even think about complaining about them farting in your general direction..

Thanks for the cheap tickets, mister. No, I'm not interested in your "dungaree puppet show".

What a bunch of bullshiat. If the "market" had been allowed to function after 9/11 the airlines would be out of business, deservedly since they let it happen, but then W dropped 3 billion into their laps and we're no safer today.

But I thought the Mongolians traveled on horseback. Did I miss something?

"KKKAAAAAAHHHHNNNNN!!!!"

Yeah, and it also spelled the end of free cocktails and sexy stewardesses and ushered in screaming children and sweat pants.

I work for Kahn and am getting a real kick out of these replys...

/No, seriously, the company I work for is Kahn
