It sounds to me like you are just accustomed to getting something for nothing... and now that the party is over... well, you know where Im going.
Why fume and fuss? because this is a somewhat short term situation. Profits will be back and the more perks preserved NOW means more perks later. Unions are powerless against the economic tide that is rushing over them. We as the providers of much of that cash get a vote. Remember the "Golden Rule"?? "Those with the gold make the rules" FFers are the single largest "voting block" within the industry in terms of cash to spend. We have econimic power and we should use it early and often to preserve what we percieve as earned benefits in what is sometimes YEARS of loyalty

I agree. So, next trip that we book should be on a discounter. And the one after that and so on and so on...
