The tax removal from airline ticket prices in the mid-1990’s is a perfect example of what would happen (because it DID happen). Prices immediately dropped because of competition. Your example is speculation as far as I know.

I guess that's why the last time I flew across the country I got a sandwich in a paper bag rather than a hot meal on a plate.

Yeah, that explains it,...riiighhht.

Actually I think you got a sandwich because you were flying coach. Those of us in first class were dining on steak and lobster.

Yeah... it was because that tax was removed. It had nothing to do with rising fuel prices, increasing cost of aircraft parts, union negotiations and the cost of increased security. Nope, couldn’t be any of that...
