F*** the FRIENDLY SKIES!
"Airlines add surcharge to holiday tickets" by Bloomberg News | September 26, 2009
ATLANTA - Delta Air Lines Inc., AMR Corp.’s American Airlines, and UAL Corp.’s United Airlines - the three largest US carriers - added a $10 surcharge to fares on the weekends after the US Thanksgiving and New Year’s holidays.
The fees apply to a “vast majority’’ of tickets for Nov. 29 and Jan. 2 and 3, Graeme Wallace of the travel research firm FareCompare.com said yesterday in an e-mail....
“Passengers already pay more to fly on certain days,’’ Wallace said, adding that airlines “have now upped the ante by determining that certain peak travel days are worth an additional passenger-paid premium.’’
Hey, once you've been raped in the poop shoot about 5 or 6 times, what's one more reaming, right? You don't mind, do ya?
The surcharge differs from fees imposed for services such as checking bags, because it isn’t optional, said Jay Sorensen, president of consultant IdeaWorks and a former airline marketing executive.
Translation: Turn, drop trou, bend, pull, yow!
--more--"
But you know what IS OPTIONAL, readers?!
STAYING OFF the F***ing plane!!!!
