What monopoly?

So predictable.    There really isn't much competition in air travel.    They all price pretty much the same and they all have limited flights.  Most airports only have a small numbernof aitlines that go to certain places.

The Texas lawmaker accused of big-footing her way into a first-class airline seat has a long history of boorish behavior — on the ground as well as in the air.

Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee regularly plays the race card when criticized and treats her staffers so badly that she was once named the meanest member of Congress by Washingtonian magazine.

According to the Houston Chronicle, she also beat out then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the “Biggest Drone” category and was also voted “Biggest Windbag” from 1998 through 2006, except for 2000 when the category wasn’t included.
