Trust me they don't pay for clean up costs, who do you think cleans those airplanes? After each flight the flight attendant does and trust me she/he isn't getting paid extra to do it plus they took concessions. US Airways did away with cleaning crews years ago, except for the overnighters. Even before the peanut and pretzels going missing people still brought their own food and let their kids mash Cheerios into the floor not to mention leaving the unfinished portions in the overheads. If you know where you are going then you probably have some idea of how long it will take to get there so pack accordingly. Bring your own snacks, everyone complains about the 5 pretzels or peanuts they get anyway. Always demanding more than one bag. Just wait until there is a charge for the sodas and water. Flying is going back to the way it was before, the wealthy and business class. Greyhound still runs dosen't it? As long as fuel goes up don't expect much. Just a ride.
