The air­ line willserve nine Caribbean destinations from New York starting November 15; at the same time, it will inaugurate non-stop service between St. Louis and SanJuan. Islands to be served are St. Thomas, the Bahamas, St. Maarten, St. Croix, Antigua, Martinique, Guadeloupe and Puerto Rico. For more than a decade TWA has con­ sistently been the leading airline across . the North Atlantic in terms of passengers carried. With the addition of the Caribbean routes, TWA willadd an important North­ South dimension to its internationalserv­ ices, Mr. Meyer said. "We expect that strong winter loads to Caribbean vacation destinations will help TWA counterbalance relatively light transatlantic traffic at that time of year, . and vice versa," he explained. "Travelers willbenefit from TWA's premiere experi­ ence in international operations and its reputation for excellent service," he added. Mr. Meyer emphasized TWA's leader­ ship as the largest tour operator across the Atlantic, and pointed to the airline's feeder network at both Kennedy and St. Louis: "Passengers from the west and midwest caneasily connect into these ma- (topage4) Freeport � 1st Quarter: Nassau SAN JUAN A Bit Better St. Thomas With the publication of TWA's first-quar­ St. Croix ter financial results,· the perennial ques­ tion recurs: "With load factors like that, how could we lose so much money?"

The committee had reviewed the general experience of the U.S. airline in- dustry during the more than a dozen years since legislation ended gov- ernment economic regulation of entry, pricing, and ticket distribution in the domestic market.1 The committee examined issues ranging from passenger fares and service in small communities to aviation safety and the federal government’s performance in accommodating the escalating demands on air traffic control. At the time, it was still being debated whether airline deregulation was favorable to consumers. Once viewed as contrary to the public interest,2 the vigorous airline competition 1 The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 was preceded by market-oriented administra- tive reforms adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) beginning in 1975. 2 Congress adopted the public utility form of regulation for the airline industry when it created CAB, partly out of concern that the small scale of the industry and number of willing entrants would lead to excessive competition and capacity, ultimately having neg- ative effects on service and perhaps leading to monopolies and having adverse effects on consumers in the end (Levine 1965; Meyer et al. 1959). 15 9310-01 Chapter 1 10/12/99 14:48 Page 16 16 ENTRY AND COMPETITION IN THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY spurred by deregulation now is commonly credited with generating large and lasting public benefits.

INTRODUCTION Respondeat superior, “piercing the corporate veil,” and strict liability; the legal world at times can have the appearance of a mine field for a business owner—an appearance which many business owners would likely argue is representative of their realities. With so many legal avenues and theories designed to impose liability on business owners, one cannot help but ask a number of questions: What purpose do these theories serve? What policies do they promote? And perhaps most importantly, is it really necessary to be stacking the deck so heavily against business owners? Consumer protection is the overarching goal justifying these theories of liability for business owners.

  • Severin Borenstein* December 31, 2010 Abstract: US Airlines Have
    Draft Comments Welcome Why Can’t U.S. Airlines Make Money? Severin Borenstein* December 31, 2010 Abstract: U.S. airlines have lost about $70 billion (net present value) in domestic markets since deregulation, most of it in the last decade. More than 30 years after deregulation, the dismal financial record is a puzzle that challenges the economics of deregulation. I examine some of the most common explanations among industry participants, analysts, and researchers — including high taxes and fuel costs, weak demand, and competition from lower-cost airlines. Descriptive statistics suggest that high taxes have been at most a minor factor and fuel costs shocks played a role only in the last few years. Major drivers seem to be the severe demand downturn after 9/11 — demand remains much weaker today than in 2000 — and the large cost differential between legacy airlines and the low-cost carriers, which has persisted even as their price differentials have greatly declined. *E.T. Grether Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley (faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/borenste); and Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research (www.nber.org). In 2010, Borenstein was a member of the USDOT’s Future of Aviation Advisory Committee. Email: [email protected]. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Alfred E. Kahn who passed away on December 27, 2010. I was lucky enough to work for Fred at the Civil Aeronautics Board in 1978 and to speak with him occasionally since then about the airline industry and government regulation.

LLOYD BURTON* Negotiating the Cleanup of Toxic Groundwater Contamination: Strategy and Legitimacy INTRODUCTION Toxic pollution of the nation's drinking water supplies has now become a familiar public policy issue. Ongoing studies by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and various state governments are finding that the extent and severity of groundwater contamination is much greater than had been formerly assumed, both from "non-point sources" such as agricultural run-off and identifiable "point sources" such as manufac- turing sites and underground storage tanks. Several federal statutes have been brought into play in an effort to control the problem, with mixed results. Different statutes delegate imple- mentation authority to different local, state, and federal agencies, creating substantial jurisdictional overlap in some areas, disturbing gaps in others, and a considerable amount of confusion overall. Federal statutes include the Clean Water Act,' Safe Drinking Water Act,2 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act,3 and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Com- pensation, and Liability Act (the "Superfund" legislation).
