The airlines, who followed one another to create the mess the airline industry is in, are still lining up and following one another . . . no more free baggage! We’ve given up food, soda is no longer free, and butt size is limited by smaller seats. The “Friendly Skies” have LONG since been forgotten. Today its ”Fly the Surly Skies.” Flight attendants have been specially trained in bondage and humiliation techniques.
Airlines complain about the high cost of fuel, then repaint the entire fleet solid colors so each plane uses more fuel . . . American has even added a customer bulletin board, but you can’t say anything bad about American. And in case you haven’t noticed, the problems of the airlines are always someone else’s fault: it’s never airline mismanagement or the airlines fault.
So now we have no free bag check. OK, so what’s being planned?
- Surcharge for carry on baggage.
- Coin operated toilets with coin operated toilet paper dispenser inside.
- For “Mile High Club” members and wantabes, coin operated condom machines.
- Extra charge for any seat other than the back row and center seats.
- Or take the stage coach. Or walk. Or stay home.
It will be interesting to see what impact this has on the cruise industry.

We have been home 7 days from a trip to Costa Rica. The nightmares of American Airlines is just beginning to fade. Of course we checked in on the first day of charging for luggage the person at the counter was less than amiable to say the least. Rather than being upset with her, you actually had to feel sorry for her situation. What wonderful days lie in store for her. I love your comment Fly the Surly Skies!!
