[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 565279, member: 60724"] That's what OPEC does, jlevin. They inflate the price you the consumer would pay through their collusion. You ask "is this fair?"...I guess if you believe in a "free market society", you might think it isn't fair. There are lots of things that I as a consumer pay for that I don't think are fair. For example, for the longest time here in the Philly area we didn't have Southwest Airlines. But, I as a consumer paid for high airline travel on carriers constantly being propped up and bailed out by govt tax dollars; all because "some group" thought it was in the best interest of those they represent to keep those airlines going, and to do everything they could to keep Southwest out. So, I paid higher prices; competition was reduced, and to me, the consumer that just didn't seem fair. But, if I were a US Airways employee working out of Philly you are DARN RIGHT I would think it was fair. Fair is a matter of perspective. TJR [/QUOTE]
