Airlines Cry for Help? Enough Already!

"Help us help you…" airlines pleaded with customers, asking them to urge Congress to keep down fuel prices by curbing speculation.

These are the same airlines that have slapped price tags on everything short of flotation devices, and now they are asking customers to channel their anger toward lawmakers who are responsible for "poorly regulated market speculation?"

They're charging for checked bags, they're stripping the entertainment systems out of the planes claiming they cause too much extra fuel consumption.

We're ALL having to pay more for fuel, but it seems to us that planes are fuller, tickets are harder and harder to get on flights we want, choices of flights are getting harder to find, and now they want US to bash lawmakers and help bail THEM out?

Enough already! What's next? Sound off…tell us what you think of the airlines latest ploy (or, er, plea…) Use the comment link below and tell us what you think of these latest gouge tactics by the airlines, and now they want us to help them? Bah-humbug!
