I know fuel costs aren't management's fault, but one would think that a company could find ways to make additional money without taking it from employee's wallets. Oh wait... this is the corporate America in 2008.
No, not exactly. Buddy passes generate absolutely no revenue for the company. And a $10 isn't going to cover the cost of the fuel rise.

Recently, we also increased the amount of the fuel surcharges we add to revenue passenger tickets.
This isn't just buddy passes. It's all tickets.
