I'm disappointed but not surprised by this latest development. The airlines are rapidly becoming a travel modality of only the business traveler or wealthy. While resembling the roots of air travel, the 21st Century versions lacks the glamor and reliability of early air travel. Airlines now are forced to cut costs, pay raising fuel costs, subsidize an ever growing number of retirees, and and pay increasing costs associated with security. As the old ads used to say, "Next time, take the train!"
