This morning I just watched my local news anchor ,Jere Gish on WGAL channel 8, in Lancaster, PA comment on the modest increase in airfares for the summer. He was asking in a rather disparaging way what he was getting for the extra fee. I sent the news director at WGAL a link to the Frontline episode "Flying Cheap" so he would know what he is getting. I also suggested that he have his reporters research information before making uneducated comments.
I doubt he will even see the e-mail.
Here is the e-mail if anyone else wants to send Jere's boss thier two cents.
