US Goes Service Fee Nuclear

Bypassing GO! and collecting $200 for anything that is not nailed down, US Airways has introduced almost too many service fees and cost reduction efforts to list:

• $15 for the first bag. Well played - pioneers get the arrows, settlers get the land. AA has already taken a beating, United has already jumped on board, pretty safe move....


• New fees for certain NRSA employee guests. We get it, if you're dead weight and burning fuel, you're paying for it...


• Boosting the call-center and ATO ticketing fee to $25-$45. Get yourself on the information internet superhighway or pay a toll for the slow call center lane. Makes total sense....


• $2 for a can of soda onboard. Fine, whatever, buy it before you board...


• $7 for liquor onboard. Fine, makes sense, wha - - - WHAT?

This means it's $9 for a rum and coke? What kind of a world do we live in? US AIR - You just lost your right to sell the High Life, is what you did!! This has gone WAY too far now....
