They showed beers, wine, mixed drinks, and sodas, implying that drinks were only a couple bucks, when in reality they were now charging for sodas, and the beer, wine, and mixed drinks were $7. I see that didn't last long.
It didn't last long.

But... they've unbundled, become only three legacies and cartelized with their ATI and JBA. In the monkey see, monkey do airlines world, the only interesting bet isn't whether they'll do this or not, it's which airline will go first.
