This is not a tax or fee that is a part of normal business expenses. This is a tax that the Federal Government REQUIRES the carrier to collect on behalf of the government and remit. If the company chooses to just absorb this cost more power to them but you cannot begrudge a company for collecting and remitting a tax.

If we all complain loud enough about it we will get what we all seem to want, no bonuses. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/eek.gif

In the meantime the complaints should be to the FED's.
