American Airlines Now Charging Fees To Non-Passengers

May be an easier sell with the new Spirit carry-on fees...

AH, the good 'ol "Onion"......now there's the 'truest' news source

It makes the Nat'l Enquirer look about as factual as CNN....on second thought, I guess that's not saying much either.

You ever looked at MSNBC, CNN and FOX agaisnt each other? As near as I can tell, the latter doesn't use any of the inflametory remarks, or selective reporting. They tell both sides, not just what furthers an agenda. The ratings constantly crush the rest... must be a lot of those crazy right wing TEA part racists out there.

Don't waste your time Grumble. There's an ant-Fox mindset that can't be overcome.

That said.......

Yes, the same nightly news that stated that American Eagle is owned by Delta. Well, at least they got the main point of the story right, the part about Eagle being the worst carrier as far as passengers are concerned.
