So what I don't understand is the following:

They charge for a fuel surcharge (because the plane needs fuel to fly)
They charge for food on the plane (there is no service at all)
They charge for drinks internationally
And now they charge an additional fee to buy a ticket to go from A--B?

Luckily, I just cashed in almost all of my AA miles a few weeks ago for a trip (where they charged me $75 for the res agent to press one key to generate an ELECTRONIC ticket since you aren't allowed to have paper ones anymore).

I was considering flying AA to SEA this next week - no way. Why isn't there some sort of petition being sent to AA or at the very least jamming their phone lines at corporate HQ? This is just ridiculous imo and not justified. They do not offer any service at all. . .this is sad.
