With respect to the casual flyer, that might be the straw that breaks the camel's back, or they might take the position of "who cares as I don't fly that much anyways". I was just stating the reality. Of course I can't really blame the gov't as the budget deficit is really high especially with all the government programs now in effect. I'll try not to be too political, but if I was the government and I saw this, I'd want my piece of the pie too.
