Well, Chris Elliot, maybe it's because you (and other forces in the market) have trained economy passengers to show no other concern than to buy based on price of the ticket.

What a whining fool. How about writing a column that goes beyond these things that everyone knows, and coming up with real stories or solutions for us?
