Sorry, I take that back. More like 25 bucks per year to use the nonrev travel services. No, I don't think that shake down is fair. Why change the game now? It's a shake down. It's not the principal of the money, but where do you draw the line? To save money on nonrev travel? I'd like at least an explanation as to how an empty seat filled by a nonrev traveller loses money? They quit serving food on a plane and charge for snack boxes. Why not include the money in the fare and serve meals like before? Because they jack up the ticket anyway and then sell the meals on top of that. It's never enough for the bean counters. Non rev travel is part of the fringe benefits we get for working for the airlines. Why shake us down? No. I don't like it. (I know Delta charges 25 per year service fee or so the survey said when was filling it out). In this merger, we lost our 10 year free space travel now its jacked up to 25 years. Don't get me wrong, there are more great things I like in this merger, its been way more profitable, and it's shown in my bottom line too, but DON'T SHAKE ME DOWN over nonrev travel.
