To AADFW:
I hear ya. And for the most part I agree with you. The problems are:
The general public still demand the service, or lack thereof, in the airline industry. If it was not true, then larger decreases in ticket sales would be apparent.
The deceptive marketing strategies of airlines is wrong but the fine print details it. I don't agree with this but it is what it is and people are still buying this stuff. My point of demand still stands.
If the all the airlines had the same sliding scale of fees, that would require regulation on a large scale and I think that too would not work since the government is not good at this sort of thing.
Today's flying industry is in sad shape but most of them are making JUST enough money to do it. I don't understand why financial investors put their money in this industry. Maybe it is because so many millions of people are still buying the tickets.
