The bottom line is this, passengers want cheap, direct service, without the frills. That's the name of the game. Add to that record high fuel prices and something has to give; and in an industry with cost structure mostly in labor, any guesses on what is going to give? Listen folks, you're beating a dead horse. The glitz and glamour of aviation is a thing of the past. Get used to it.
