Submitted
Delta Air Lines Inc. and American Airlines have matched United's increase in the fee for changing a domestic-flight reservation to $200 from $150.

Right on!! Let's get those tweets going to set up charters. Call NetJets. These extra fees for everything are out of control. Also the Banks -- charging fees to get our money out of "their" banks -- also ridiculous and anti-consumer. When will we fight back. Where have we gone with service in this country?? It isn't there anymore. Sad Story!!

Call NetJets. As soon as you hear the price of the first leg of your trip, you'll hang up and call Delta begging to pay double.

I understand the business side of this. But I seem to remember my company under federal investigation for price fixing. How on earth is the practice of all these airlines colluding to rate/fee hikes not a crime? It's the only industry that gets away with it on a regular basis.

When the all can afford charters. Here's an idea- a sort of crowdsource organization to charter flights. Find 10 people going somewhere at the same time, and bundle into a charter. Go GA, avoid TSA, choose your time to go. Could that work?
