I commuted recently on a SWA 737-300 packed to the gills with a single class of service. Somehow that jet hung in the air and somehow that company continues to make money.
I like shiny new stuff as much as the next person, but this memo smacks of bait and switch. The cheese has been sufficiently moved: Rubber on the ramp and I'll believe it! Pay me first.
