Flying Sucks Donkey Dong

I hate flying commercial airlines in general so much I’d rather drive coast to coast than fly. Especially when things like this are their great ideas for customer service:

To improve operations, it has launched 250 initiatives, including investigating whether to divest United’s $750 million cargo business as well as its frequent-flier program and San Francisco maintenance base; introducing a la carte fees for economy passengers who want to purchase new services, like ensuring their luggage is first off the plane; and exploring mergers, a favorite Tilton pursuit.

What? Once all the fees add up I’m sure it’d just be worth flying first class. Screw you United. Want to make money? Make it BETTER for people to choose to fly your airline. Better food and service. Better lounges. Nicer flight attendants.
