Hi -

I am just saying that airlines are cutting service levels.

And I would agree with you, but ...

For $40 I got F9 Gold. Free carry on and free seat assignment. I don't check bags; if I did, I would get the credit card which now comes with free bags.

Anytime I want additional space, I can get a guaranteed middle seat open.

YMMV of course, but F9 is coming in at 1/3 the price of AS. At some point it matters.

Hell, I even spent $299 for a go wild pass. I have already had 3 RT for $30 RT each.
