$100 Change Fee?!

Do my eyes not deceive me? Am I misreading this? Did anyone else notice this?

Effective yesterday, JetBlue more than doubled their change/cancel fee to $100. Ouch.

This brings them in line with most of the majors, except for United, which has upped their change fee to $150.

As I have previously stated in this very forum, IMHO, there are reasonable fees (seat upgrades, extra bags, entertainment, food--of which, I know, JetBlue only charges 2 of these, and only very recently) and unreasonable fees (change fees that eat up most or all of the cost of a ticket).

Allow me to state this unequivocally: a $100 change fee, on an airline with a $135 average one-way fare, is--to borrow the favorite word of NYC Mayor Bloomberg--unconscionable.
