I attempt to vote with my wallet by not patronizing "cheap crap" stores and research the food I buy because I realize the adage 'you get what you pay for' is usually true. Before I got travel benefits, I bought plane tickets based on my perceived total value, not simply who had the cheapest tickets. Hopefully we can change the general cheap skate paradigm through education, and articles like these probably *do* help.

P.S. The article says RAH is losing 22 Million a year in lost revenue on those 27 parked aircraft. (I read that correctly, right?). I wonder if those losses are worth not fixing compensation and or career progression?
