For years United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has argued that there’s an historical relationship between airfares and GDP.

The Galling Hypocrisy Of American Airlines, Which Wants The Government To Ban A Competitor
American and Southwest, for their part, face competition in their home market.

A couple tried to pick the lock of the hotel room door at Holiday Inn near the San Jose airport. The guest inside called the front desk, who confronted the couple.
