Question

Airlines love blaming gas prices on their lack of business, who thinks attitude has a lot to do with it?

Answer 1

Maybe, I'm tired of them taking little things away like the peanuts.  I'll pay the extra $.10, just bring me the honey roasted ones please.  

I have to fly so they still have my business no matter what.

Answer 2

Oh, yes. I agree with you. Not only have they driven up their prices for tickets by as much as $600 (yikes!), most now are charging $15 dollars for the first bag. You are supposed to pay if you have two. They now measure carry-ons, and if they don't fit, got to pay for that one, too. It's getting to be ridiculous. No one will want to fly because it will be more expensive than driving. Squeezing out all these extra fees and getting no business, they can blame it on themselves and their attitude.

Answer 3

hmm you got a point. even cabs companies here and bus services will up the fares every now and then. the excuse is high cost of managing the service and some other co. even mentioned about salaries increase but frankly my salary dont increase that much.

Answer 4

Actually, it's very difficult to find bargain air fare anymore.  No one, globally, is immune from the increase of the price of crude oil.  I believe our nation has a huge surplus in uncollected reserves, but those reserves will be used for the military. I have reorganized my budget, take public transportation, ride/share, and make my use of gasoline more efficient.  Drive slower on the freeway, go shopping where I can acquire my necessities at one market, and no longer just be spontaneous with my adventures.  Have to do it that way.  I am not amenable to enriching the enemy.
