Oh...I floated off-topic a bit there.
I thought I read a while back that AC would start including the fuel surcharge in the base fare price??

Either way, it should be included, as the 3 or 4 years it has been around now is hardly temporary. And they know damn well it's here to stay for the foreseeable future.
