"Just like the thought of paying for food on your flight seemed like an insane idea a decade ago, people will get used to it."

But you DID pay for the food on your flight a decade ago!

Scott, I operate under the assumption that any company, including any airline, will charge the highest price the market allows at all times. If this is true, and I've never seen any evidence to the contrary, we shouldn't rely on the charity of airlines to keep prices low. Plane tickets are affordable-- even with airlines charging the maximum possible price-- because of competition and innovation.

And before you bemoan the "greedy" airlines, take a look at their balance sheets. Yikes.
