Mai hoʻopunipuni.
ʻO nā banekorupa, hui pū ʻana a me ka hoʻohui ʻana i waena o nā mokulele nui e hoʻonui i ke kālā i ka poʻe holo a hoʻolilo i ka huakaʻi i ʻoi aku ka pōʻino ma mua o ka manawa.
'O ka 'Oihana Waiwai 101: 'O ka emi 'ana o ka ho'okūkū 'o ia ho'i ke kumu kū'ai ki'eki'e, ho'emi 'ia ka lawelawe o ka po'e kū'ai, nā huaka'i lehulehu, a me nā pilikia ko'iko'i inā loa'a nā ho'opa'apa'a hana a i 'ole nā pilikia mālama.
I nā pule i hala iho nei, ua nui nā pilikia o ka mokulele. He 300,000 mau kaʻa i hoʻopau ʻia kā lākou mau mokulele.
ʻO kēia pule he pule ʻelua whammy no ka lehulehu.
ʻOi aku ma mua o 4,000 mau huakaʻi i hoʻopau ʻia no nā pilikia o ka mālama ʻana a ua hala kekahi mau mokulele liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi i ka ʻoihana a i ʻole ka panakalupa: Oasis, Skybus, ATA, Aloha, MAXjet, a me Frontier.
ʻO ka hopena, e nalowale ka hoʻokūkū ma nā kūlanakauhale he nui a e hoʻonui ʻia ke kaomi ma luna o nā poʻe mokulele mokulele ma muli o nā mokulele piha a me nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe. ʻO nā mokulele hoʻoilina - ʻAmelika, United, Delta, Northwest, a me Continental - ke hoʻolālā nei i ka hoʻonui ʻana. A me ka clout nui a lākou e hoʻohana ai ma Wakinekona, loaʻa pinepine lākou i kā lākou makemake.
ʻAʻohe kanaka e hana me nā mokulele nui ma DC. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia lākou e hāʻule. Ke pilikia kekahi o lākou, "hoʻonohonoho hou" a, me nā hōʻaiʻē federal nui mai Congress, e hoʻomau e like me ka wā ma mua.
ʻAʻole pili kēia largesse i nā mokulele liʻiliʻi haʻahaʻa.
Ke hele nei ʻo ʻAmelika i kahi cartel mokulele ʻelua a ʻekolu paha, e hoʻopau pono i nā mea kūʻai haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i koe - Southwest, America West, Air Tran, Jet Blue a me nā mea ʻē aʻe - e wehe ana i ke ala no ka piʻi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai astronomical.
Ke hoʻopau nā mokulele nui i ka hoʻokūkū mai kahi kūlanakauhale kikoʻī, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o nā kumukūʻai. Ua ʻike ʻia kahi hōʻike i hoʻopuka ʻia i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei e ke Keʻena ʻOihana Hoʻonaʻauao ma nā hub i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, 24.7 miliona mau ohua i uku, ma ka awelika, he 41% ʻoi aʻe ma mua o ko lākou mau hoa ma nā mākeke me ka hoʻokūkū haʻahaʻa. Kākoʻo kēia i ka Consumer Reports Study o 42 miliona mau tikiki i kaupalena ʻia i kūʻai ʻia ma 1999, i hōʻike ʻia i nā poʻe holo leʻaleʻa e uku ana he 10% hou aku no nā huakaʻi huakaʻi ma kahi liʻiliʻi he 1600 mau mile mai nā kūlanakauhale ʻoihana paʻa.
ʻIke mākou i ke ʻano o ka wā e hiki mai ana.
I kēia manawa, i ka wā e lanakila ai ka mea lawe hoʻokahi i kahi mākeke, piʻi nui nā kumukūʻai. ʻAʻohe mana kūʻai kūʻai aku nā luna huakaʻi a me nā poʻe huakaʻi, piha mau nā mokulele, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka lawelawe. No ka laʻana, ma kahi noiʻi kulanui i hana ʻia i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo ka "hale pakaua" i hoʻomalu ʻia e Northwest Airlines ma Minneapolis e uku i nā poʻe kaʻa he $456 miliona i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ma mua o ke kumu kūʻai maʻamau no nā mokulele hoʻohālikelike i nā hui ʻole. (Palua paha ka helu i kēia lā.)
No ke aha mai? Mālama ʻo Northwest i ka 80% o nā mokulele mai Minneapolis. Ua manaʻo ʻo Severin Borenstein ma ke Kulanui o Kaleponi, ʻo Davis, ʻo ke kumukūʻai tiketi o Northwest mai kāna monopoly hub he 38% kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ka awelika aupuni no nā mokulele like.
Ua kapa ʻia e nā mea hoʻokele waiwai ʻo "Fortress Hub Premium." ʻO nā poʻe e lele ana mai nā hale paʻa ʻē aʻe (Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Miami, Denver, Houston, Dallas, Detroit, St. Louis, Atlanta, Memphis, Phoenix) ke uku nei i kēia uku nui.
Inā hele nā hui i manaʻo ʻia, no ka nalowale ʻana o kēia mau mokulele ʻē aʻe, e uku nui ana nā poʻe e lele ana mai kēlā me kēia kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe o ka ʻāina.
ʻO ʻAmelika, United, a me Delta ua like ia me nā kamaliʻi e hele ana ma hope o ka pā pāʻani a hoʻokaʻawale i nā kinikini no lākou iho. Me ka ʻole o ka hoʻokūkū haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, e paʻa ka poʻe pilikua mokulele i ka mea hoʻopaʻa lehulehu.
Ua kākau maikaʻi ʻia ke ala e hana ai i kahi hoʻopiʻi antitrust ʻo Justice Department e kūʻē iā American Airlines i kekahi mau makahiki i hala. Ua hoʻopiʻi nā luna Federal ua hoʻohana ʻo ʻAmelika i ka hui ʻana o nā kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa, ka loaʻa ʻana o nā noho haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, a hoʻohui i nā mokulele e hoʻoikaika i kekahi mau mokulele haʻahaʻa - Vanguard, Western Pacific, a me Sunjet - e hoʻopau a hōʻemi i ka lawelawe ma ka mākeke Dallas. I ka wā i hoʻokuke ʻia ai nā mokulele liʻiliʻi, ua hoʻopau ʻo ʻAmelika i nā mokulele a hoʻonui i nā kumukūʻai, a ua manuahi lākou e hana, me ka hoʻopaʻi ʻole ʻia, hāʻawi ʻia i ko lākou kūlana monopoly.
ʻO kēia ʻano hana predatory ke kumu i paʻakikī ai nā mokulele hou i ka wā e haki ai i kahi mākeke. A ʻo ia ke kumu e lele pinepine ai ʻo Southwest a me JetBlue mai nā kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ma lalo o nā mokulele i lawelawe ʻia: ʻaʻole lākou makemake e hoʻokūkū pololei me nā mokulele nui.
ʻAʻole pono pēlā.
Ma ʻEulopa, ua holomua ka nui o nā mokulele mokulele hou. Hāʻawi ʻo Ryan Air, easyJet, AirBerlin, BMI, WizzAir, Blue Air, Norwegian Air Shuttle, a me German Wings i nā kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa no nā huakaʻi leʻaleʻa (e laʻa, ʻo Lākana a Cologne: hoʻokahi Euro).
Akā ma ka moku'āina, ʻaʻole nui nā mea.
ʻOiai ʻo ka Open Skies Treaty hou, ka mea e hiki ai ke komo i nā kūlanakauhale ʻAmelika no nā mokulele ʻē aʻe, paʻa i kekahi mau ʻōlelo hoʻohiki no nā mokulele honua, ʻaʻohe manaʻolana no nā mokulele kūloko. Ua hoʻolimalima nā mokulele i nā kumukūʻai like ʻole ma o ka hōʻailona kamepiula huna. ʻO ke kumu kūʻai hoʻomaha wale no nā poʻe kaʻa i nā makahiki i hala iho nei ua loaʻa mai nā mea lawe liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi e like me…Southwest, Airbus, Frontier…. a me ka ʻoki ʻana o ka helu o USAir i kā lākou hoʻāʻo e hoʻokūkū me nā behemoths. Ua mālama kēia hoʻokūkū i nā kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa a hoʻonui i ka lawelawe.
ʻO ka hui ʻana o nā mokulele he laʻana o "ka haʻaheo ʻole o ka mokulele a me ka mālama ʻole ʻana i nā kumu o ka hoʻokūkū" wahi a Richard M. Copland, ka pelekikena mua o ASTA, e kūʻē ikaika ana i nā hui. "ʻO ia ka make no ka manaʻolana o ka hoʻokūkū ma ka ʻoihana mokulele."
"Ke hoʻopau nei ʻo Greed i kā mākou ʻōnaehana kaʻa kaʻa no ka lehulehu huakaʻi. Inā hoʻopiha ʻia kēlā me kēia noho, momona ka loaʻa kālā a huhū nā poʻe kaʻa, he aha ke ʻano o ka ʻōnaehana kaʻa moku i loaʻa iā ʻoe? Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Copland. "Ua hōʻike aku nā mokulele me kā lākou ʻakaʻaka a me ka hana hoʻomalu ponoʻī ʻaʻohe mea e loli me ka ʻole o ke aupuni."
Pale aku nā mokulele i kā lākou hoʻoweliweli ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana, “He ʻāina kūʻokoʻa ia. He mākeke kūʻokoʻa. Hōʻoiaʻiʻo lākou i kā lākou hana ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana he pono lākou e pane i nā koi o ka mākeke, ke kiʻekiʻe o ka wahie a me nā kumukūʻai hoʻohaʻahaʻa.
Akā ʻo ka noho ʻana ma ʻAmelika ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo e kākoʻo ʻia ke aupuni, pono e ʻae ʻia nā monopoli virtual e wāwahi i kā lākou mau mea hoʻokūkū. Kūkulu ʻia kā mākou ʻōnaehana hoʻokele waiwai kūʻai kūʻokoʻa ma luna o ka hoʻokūkū. Inā makemake nā mokulele e hoʻonui i ka māhele mākeke, pono i nā poʻe nui e loaʻa iā ia ma ka lanakila ʻana i ka ʻoihana a me ka kūpaʻa o kā lākou mea kūʻai aku, ʻaʻole ma ka ʻai ʻana i nā mea hoʻokūkū a hoʻokuke paha iā lākou i waho o ka ʻoihana me nā kumukūʻai cutthroat a me nā hōʻaiʻē aupuni.
