Forum: Cheap fares, bumpy ride
Andres Martinez asks: How long can airlines operate as a charity? And how can passengers be such ingrates?
Sunday, March 20, 2005
I flew to Florida on vacation recently, and would like to apologize to American Airlines for the boorish behavior of my fellow passengers. Most of them did a lot of complaining -- about the long lines at security, the scarcity of food and the inadequate onboard entertainment. None of these ingrates, as far as I could tell, paused to acknowledge the airline's generosity. It's a noble endeavor, this charitable airlift that flies millions of people across the country each year at a staggering cost to airline investors.
