AA is seriously nickel and diming it but charging for checked bags. just jacck and i mean jack the ticket prices. people will still fly. gas is like 4.50 a gallon and people are still buying it!!! i dunno these are just my thoughts but i sure as hell am learning alot everyday about this whole mess...
Yep, gotta shake you head a bit.... I just finished a 10 leg UAX pairing ..thats 700 available seats.... ( not knowing the non rev #s I know ) but we put butts in 659 seats... ( plus two ACM's on full legs ) ..... personally I dont think nearly as many people will stop flying ( well maybe in the very short term ) as we might think if the tickets were priced even just to break even.
