Last Week's Results
PREVIOUS RESULTS ***
Our most recent "Questions of the Week" have centered around airplane
shopping and buying. Last week, we asked which factor (from our
list) is the most important in your personal decision to by a new
aircraft.
Always responsible, AVweb readers named safety the most
important factor in their purchase, with nearly 25% of respondents
rating it at the top of their lists. The second most important
factor, getting 17% of respondents' votes, was economy — another
practical consideration we can't deny.
14% of you chose speed as the most important factor — one
which, we suppose, could be either a practical consideration or simply a
personal preference.
11% ranked comfort as the number one variable in making a
purchase.
And 12% of you told us that your top consideration was something we
hadn't listed.
Curious about the other factors we offered as choices — or what
the other 25% of respondents chose?

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
This week's Question comes from an AVweb reader, who writes:
Since de-regulation more than 25 years ago, the U.S. has seen
airlines soar and sink. Mostly sink. September 11 didn't help. Delays
caused by airport caused by airport capacity don't help. The
impending air traffic controller shortage surely won't help. The
legacy major air carriers haven't seen sustainable profit in a very
long time.
His question:
Would you like to see some form of government regulation for
the airlines in hopes of bringing a more stable path for them to
succeed?
