There's 5,000 planes to complete 30,000 flights everyday. At the end of each day the right size plane has to be in the right spot to start the next days round. Don't forget time out for maintenance and cleaning.
One thunderstorm shuts down one airport for one hour and everything is screwed up. Reregulating won't help that nightmare although it would provide better cash flow and considering the airlines are bleeding red ink like never before it might keep the whole mess from collapsing.
