This article looks at the impact of airline deregulation on air travelers. The debate between those who believe that deregulation has been a net public good and those who believe it was a mistake should be aware of the current status of commercial air travel as of December 1992. Porters are rare at airports in Italy, Spain and Martinique. One speculated reason for this is that tourists refuse to pay a living wage to porters. These problems--massive unemployment and the absence of porters at airports--indicated that travelers have been the passive clients of bureaucrats. Many of these people are frustrated about this state of affairs and they believed that things would depend on who they voted for president.
