What is the logic in having a separate line item (surcharge) for the increase in fuel costs? Will United have a 'labor surcharge' to pay for the higher wages since they've settled their pilots contract dispute? Or an 'aircraft surcharge', because my upcoming ATL-HNL flight on Delta might be on a new 777, instead of a 10-15 yr old L1011?
These costs, along with all others, are part of operating costs. Add them all up, and if you have to, raise the price.
