I must be lucky because in the past three years of traveling (i took a break prior to that), I have had maybe 10 delayed flights, and I fly nearly every week. I just see these delays are more opportunity to read.
As far as the pricing goes, nationalizing the airline industry is the worst possible thing that could happen. It means more taxes, and yeah, the government has shown that they can do a really, really good job at running organizations. As a IT contractor to government agencies I can tell you that these are some of the most poorly run "companies" in the world (including the many UK and Canadian agencies I've worked with).
