This just in:

Us Airways will now begin charging affiliate carriers employees (regional) for non rev benefits.

$75.00 for employees
$50.00 for spouse
$50.00 for each child
$50.00 for parents (for the right to be charged $25.00 each way domesticaly and to canada, $40.00 each way to HI and Mexico, and $100.00 each way internationally.

These are annual fees.

As a regional FO with kids I cannot afford this. What are they thinking? And why is the employee paying more than the rest of the family?
Does anyone know if they are charging US Airways employees?
