Yea, but we never refer to ourselves as officers. Just NCOs.

If you don't die while demanding to speak to all the managers, you live long enough to become the manager.

If they have the technology to make correct choices still kill you, based completely on RNG, I'd play. Incorrect choices would have to kill you every time still.

Is it just me, or does it look like someone added text with MS Paint?

So they could have done it all along?

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. - George Carlin

"Hey, our wholesale costs went up 300%, so we raised it 400% because fuck you, we're all doing it and you don't have any other options " is still price gouging and collusion.

I'd only believe it with a certified DNA test.

In the US, ticket fares have gone down a small amount since bag fees began.

However, US airlines also stopped serving meals on domestic flights around the same time and seats have gotten smaller. It's hard to make an apples to apples comparison when they are providing less service and cramming more of us in. I also wonder if that fare decrease ignores BS like having to pay to select a seat unless you purchase a more expensive fare.

I agree it would be nice to have a more a la carte experience if the prices actually reflected that. I'm not quite old enough to have purchased my own tickets before the internet, so I can't remember if prices were as volatile then.

Less than 20 years ago check bags were free. Companies have been conditioning the consumer to assume more and more cost.
