The Airline Deregulation Act was signed into law on October 28, 1978. Before this piece of legislature was passed, the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) regulated everything from fares to schedules and all domestic air transport. In Congress and other places as well, there became a popular belief that the CAB was haulting growth and carrying out inefficient practices.

These changes were carried out very rapidly and since 1978, nine major airlines and 100 smaller airlines have gone bankrupt.
