Well, since flyrights has effectively taken this thread so far off topic that it doesn't even make sense to read anymore, here's my last word:
If you don't like what the commercial airlines are doing, don't fly them. The beauty of the society we live in, not the 100% government regulated one flyrights is pushing for, is that if you don't like the way one company does business, you can take your business elsewhere.
Thank you and good night.
