Ohh yeah those $25 fees just are propelling them out of BK. HP has no stand-by fees and they're profitable. Must be a correlation here. That is why my wife NEVER wants to fly US because she can stand-by FOR FREE on UA from DCA-ORD, sit in economy plus and never have to give US one penny to sit in the big RJ.

Stupid, Stupid Stupid. ..
