No matter what one says about low fares, happy flight attendants etc., I will always hold them resposible for the downgrade in the air travel expereince. They have inspired the lowest of the low, free for all bargain fares, animosity between passengers that pay different fares for the same lousy service and a new lowest common denominator in travel. Bleecchh!
Let's just put wings on a greyhound bus.
