This kind of fits, I was thinking the other day about the time two/three years ago when DL announced they were going to charge for booze in the Crown Room.
As I recall, it was less than 60 days later they recinded the announcement. I guess the difference was that had immediate press to teh downside that had immediate results. I think all of these changes were designed to be slow in implementation as to not upset a large group of travelers (customers) at once. They are slowly slipping it in.
