No more free water on US Air

They buy fuel in the market like everyone else, they just happen to buy it smarter in the market than most. Ex CO CEO Gordon Bethune just wishes they would keep the smart buying in extra profits, he hates the fact that SW passes the cost savings on to the consumer.

Blame it on the public and their dorked-up mentality! They refuse to pay for an outright higher fare that will allow the airlines to survive and make money, yet the airlines have found a way to still extract it from them. While I don't agree with how it's being implemented, it is a necessary evil. I'd much rather see a fare that includes EVERYTHING, including taxes, and then get all the other services for "free", but apparently the public doesn't want to pay that fare, so they'll pay it in increments until it still equals what's needed to survive and make money.
As an aunt of mine used to tell me, "honey, nothing's free!".

I never said I didn't SWA in CLT, we've been holding our own pretty good going head to head with you guys for over 24 years. It would just be nice if they paid the same for gas as we do, that way SWA be forced to charge customers what it REALLY costs to fly. Then we could ALL make money, kapish?
