Taking an airline flight in my college years was real travel. The airlines treated you like a real passenger we are welcome to their flights. They give us food and drinks and more.
Then came 9/11, the airlines make every excuses to giving us less and charging us more. If it is not fuel cost. It is operation cost. The air miles are a scheme, and the delays and cancellations are far too common.
What is headlining the news now is this nameless little airline wanted to charge passengers for carry on luggage. I wish they got big time backlash by passengers. Stop booking their flights as protest. We will then wait and see what their CEOs come up to rescue their little airlines when sales plunged
We already pay for checking our luggage, because in part some travelers bring their entire closet on board, the plane is not a cruise ship, so the airline use the excuse to take advantage of us. I can’t argue with that.
Just when we get use to the fact that we should carry less to avoid the luggage charges. The airlines came up with another scheme to get cash out of the piggy bank. Is this highway robbery? It is equivalent to checking into a hotel, were ask to pay “extra” for using their towels and pillows. What is your reaction to that?
The carry on fee is not fair, because it is not an option to go on an overnight trip without change of cloth, or a business trip with out a suitcase or a laptop. We already pay for everything in-flight, what will they think of next? Please let me know.
However I do have a suggestion or two may spark their interests: How about make us pay more if we want a co-pilot on board. Do we need them any more? Let the computer do their work.
May be charge for flight attendances services. Nothing is being serve on flights under 3 hours air time anyway, and the computer already took over the ridicules safety routine they use to make us guilty for not paying attention to, what else is there for them to do? As for the landing service, the last passengers came on board can close the cabin door, and the first class passengers can open the door before they deplane. Just like getting in and out of a Taxi, why not on a flight. Yeah,
we can be self-sufficient. May be even flying the jet too. If we want all the services, airline can itemize each service and charge accordingly. Hurray.
The big boys are closely monitoring the out come. It may well be on its way to become a reality on every airline. Happy Travel.
