And I suppose AA should change their toll-free numbers to 900/976 numbers so they can generate revenue as well. How about a charge to speak to a GA if you want anything changed at the gate? Why not a charge/tax if you want to add your FF # to cover disAAdvantage service cost? A lowering of the maximum free check-in luggage weight? And on the plane, a charge for pillows and blankets, a charge if you want pretzels and less than a can of soda, a charge for IFE, and a charge if you want to speak to a live FA for other than safety reasons (AA always likes to remind us they are there mainly for that anyways)?

I better stop--I'm giving them too many ideas.
