I think there would be a massive revolution at delta if they did this. It's already a headache enough to commute to work as it is with the reduction in capacity (and a pat on the back to the airlines for filling the planes), and with paycuts, minimal retirement, and an overall bleak industry...if they were to start charging 20 bucks one way (or whatever the amount), i for one would probably quit and just go fly pc12s.
