Who really cares? All I ever look at is total price for airline tickets and I could care less how the airlines break it down. If they didn't charge this fee, they'd just raise their fares anyway.
It's not like the hotels that wouldn't disclose the energy surcharge in your rate and would only tack it on at the end basically.
This fee is "hidden" in plain sight.
