The airline industry is a cutthroat business and many airlines endure long periods of loss, assuming they don't go under. Try catching a Pan Am flight.
Flying is no longer for the ultra wealthy, but for the average slob, because prices are so low. I see people who haven't showered in weeks in their sweats and Crocs flying with their mangy mutt. Saving fuel is is part of what opened up access.
