Agreed. The F-word applies.

I wonder how many of these they will sell. My guess -- no more than a handful each flight
I'm guessing 40 to 50 on flights out of MCO. Back in the days unnumbered, the pre-boarding line would start an hour before departure and grow to 40 or more people. I bet that most of those people would have preferred to pay $10.
