Peeve: Airlines,,,, can’t believe how badly the airlines treat you and then profit from you. This evening’s news tells about the multiple hundreds of millions in profit that the airline gained this past year. How about they now want to charge you for carry-on items above the cost of the original ticket price, it’s out of control and we the travelers are getting the short end of the issue. Talk with airline employees and you find that they are underpaid for their work (annually salary) and overworked in many cases, this includes pilots! It’s time the airline industry is overhauled so they can make a fair profit and customers can get back to good service at a fair price.

The term “come fly with me” is just another comment by a pickpocket who wants your money.

My boys are driving for trip here next month the airlines want an extra arm this year to go with both legs and the other arm they already were charging. They usually fly! I'd prefer driving anyway....there's way too many planes in the skies it's ridiculous!

If I never see the inside of an airport again it'll be too soon. They've just sucked the fun out of flying.

Does that include a woman's purse? If so, then we'll have to pay or start putting wallet, etc in pockets like the men.
