Charging for aisle seats...? Gimme a friggin' break...!

what an enormous pile of crap...

Struggling US airlines, looking for new ways to generate revenue, are getting bolder about charging for the things that make air travel a little more comfortable -- including aisle seats.

First came charging passengers for in-flight meals. Then, reservations done by phone cost extra. And now Northwest Airlines is trying to charge passengers for aisle seats and emergency-exit rows.

The day is coming when carriers will require special fees even to check a bag, experts say.

they treat you like shit, lie to you and then announce how innovative they're getting about picking your pocket...
