Blow=B9s my mind when airlines (and other business=B9) do these stupid things.
Nickling and diming your way to the bottom line doesn=B9t solve the problem.
You can=B9t cut your way out of a hole, you must grow, profitably.
With too many planes in the sky with seats that were sold too cheap.
The financial carrying cost of an extra $40 million dollar plane is 10k a
day..
Most airlines have 100 staff per winged aluminum tube, SouthWest has
basically half that number.
$10k a day and twice as many staff are slightly more significant than a
bucks worth of booze.
