That's funny. The flying public has brought all of this on themselves, and they keep blaming the airlines.

The flying public demands low fares. Airlines in an attempt to stay competitive give them that. Well, to keep low fares, something else has to give.

You don't want credit card debt, then use your debit card. If your bank is charging a debit card fee, use a different bank. Every single thing everyone is griping about, is because the public wants what they want first, and that's low fares. And right now they're almost lower that the airlines can sustain. Just had another carrier go out of business last week.

Right now, Alaska is looking at layoffs. People are going to be losing jobs. But you didn't get your free in flight meal, or you can't pay cash.

Boo Hoo.
