Hell for what most airlines charge, you can hardly drive the equivalent distance at a lower cost. As an employee I am sick and tired of hearing about weak revenue. These services should not be free. They should be used to help the bottomline and generate much needed revenue. I have not flown on VA but I believe that they are charging for additional service items. Likewise Frontier charges $5 for their live TV.
I do believe this has to be B6's strategy, but I think it is a little early. One day we'll see B6 charging for tv, headsets, internet, etc. Patience, my friend.

You don't want to start charging and drive people away. It needs to be done very carefully.
