Just like WN's free wifi (oh wait) and WN doesn't even give you a plug. But WN has free streaming. And what about all those planes that AA ripped the IFE out of? Oh yes, free streaming and a plug for some.

Glass half full? Glass half empty? For some, there's just a broken glass. I"m not quite sure why food and luggage shouldn't be a basic offering, too. Pay B6 for a Mint ticket, and you'll get food, luggage and wifi. Win win!
