There's a reason JetsGo is JetsGone... You can't lose money on every seat you sell and somehow expect to make it up on "volume, volume, volume!"

I do however agree that the fees the feds charge for airport 'rents' are almost criminal. Still, it's an easy thing for the feds to tax - They get $$$ and the citizens blame the airlines, not them.
