I agree it's a race to the bottom driven by the consumer, but saving a dime per passenger over water still seems extreme to me.
Yea, I don't like it very much, either. Hopefully this will pass and things will improve once this whole mess stabalizes. Flying is really becomming a PITA for everyone at this point.
As far as the water bottles go. On our airplanes the large water bottles are being replaced with small individual sized ones, so I believe each pax. will get their own bottle now.
