THE DOCTOR IS IN

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
The airlines are making billions by dinging the flying public.Extra fees by any large corporation is just a rip off and a way for the corporation to boost their bottom line but the airlines are just a bunch of greedy titans.
The extra baggage fees for the airlines is great for them. They made 2 billion dollars in these outrageous baggage fees this year. In fact, they made 20% more this year than they did last year.
Delta airlines is one of the largest beneficiaries of this greed but most other major airlines are also realizing the gains from this baggage fee bonanza.
The airlines are always finding ways to squeeze out another dollar from each passenger but they continue to cut back on benefits for the air traveler. In addition the billions they are making from just the baggage fees they insist on charging for food, snacks, pillows, blankets,beverages,seating preference and God knows what all - - and they are still looking for additional venues to impose another fee.
Billions a year from the baggage fees, more billions from the food, snacks, beverages, pillows, etc., and that adds up too over the top profits for these airlines. I'm not even going to mention the price of the tickets because most of us already know how we are being ripped off by the ever changing prices that are calculated on an hourly basis, if not minute to minute.
Oh! Almost forgot. Don't forget those extra fees the airlines are making for any reservation changes and such things as children fees and the over-weight passenger fees, just to name a few. Folks, the flying public is being screwed day in and day out while the airlines cry poverty and continually ask for government help and bailouts.
My view,- I wonder what a two-week or a month boycott against the airlines would do? Would they then decide to stop gouging the flying public? Who knows. And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
