Obviously the recession has much to do with it, but I do wish it would occur to our great captains of the airline industry that one reason people
are flying less is that it the experience has become so incredibly shitty. Some of this is not the fault of the individual airlines, such as stupid security theater, but plenty of it is. I mean bag fees, what the fuck? And it isn't simply the money, it's the extra hassle and just general sense of being screwed and harassed throughout the entire process.
