OK, the headline is a little dramatic, completely untrue, and borrowed from Windbag but he’s right, sometimes the airline industry (especially Delta) really sucks. I know, there are many things in this world more worthy of words and worry than a horribly inconvenienced business traveler, but these stories can be just so amusing …

OK, the headline is a little dramatic… and completely untrue, but let’s face it, sometimes the airlines industry (especially United) really sucks.

First there was a surcharge for the extra screening required at the airport. Fine, we all want to be safe.
Next, the airlines wanted to charge us for snacks and meals we used to receive on the plane at no cost. Hmmmm… OK, that might work, because we all used to complain about the food, right?
But what about baggage? The airlines could charge us for the bags we check… maybe $15 for the first one and $25 for the second one? Grrrrr… now this one is starting to upset …
