The "old" airlines are the ones in trouble - the ones that were founded in the era of regulation. They haven't adapted. Part of that is because their unions haven't allowed them to adapt. The newer airlines without regulation-era baggage are doing OK.

The new comnpanies are competing somewhat unfairly with the old ones in terms of maintenance and safety costs.

Do I have to elaborate?

Yes, because although I agree with you much of the time, I'm not sure you nailed this one.
