Well actually quite a few airlines are charging for sodas and snacks now...AA gives away free sodas...but you get NO free snack...US Airways charges for everything. As I said before your negative attacks on Spirit are not totally untrue, its just that everyone else has moved or is moving to our business model. I am sure people were jumping up and down when gas stations moved away from the Full service business model to...but guess what....now they are all Self Service, unless you live in Oregon.
In a way it gives me a good feeling to know that I work for the airline that started it all (in the USA) not the last one to change to it. I am here for a paycheck, not a medal for flying an empty airplane with the best service. We are Americans...we want it now, and we want it cheap.
