If anyone finds the operation of airlines a fascinating topic, you might like Wendover Productions: [LINK] How airlines price flights [LINK] The little plane war [LINK] Why planes don't fly faster [VIDEO] The economics of Airline Class [LINK] How airlines schedule flights [LINK] I just recently found the channel. So much good stuff. (My unrelated favorite is [LINK] How the US government will survive doomsday.)
