Rant-Airline Fees and Requests

We all know by now how airlines are charging its fliers for everything from checked in bags to pillows to your seating preference. It was recently announced by most major airlines that they will be adding an extra $10 per flight for the upcoming holiday season. That mad dash to fly during the Thanksgiving and Xmas/New Years holidays will now cost you a bit more. Is it not surprising that when they ask for our cooperation that we dismiss their notions without a second thought? One airline is asking their passengers to use the bathroom before boarding the plane. The thinking is that, groupwise, the plane will be several pounds lighter and save fuel costs and create a smaller carbon footprint. What-ever! Unless there's a financial incentive, I will continue to carry on my biological waste rather than checking them at the airport
