indeed a very interesting article...
the airlines went WAY past my pain threshold a long time ago.......
now with the crazy prices and nickel and diming, they're adding insult to injury...
definitely makes a person think twice and look for alternatives...

That's a good way to describe it... a pain threshhold. As with gasoline prices, the airlines will soon chop off their noses to spite their face. I guess they haven't realized that we are the ones with the money and we are getting pretty darn choosey about where we spend it, with whom we spend it, and IF we spend it.

I expect a major consumer pushback, especially this holiday season.
