UAL to charge $25.....

[jetracer5]

Not sure how is works but why do the airlines even offer places like expedia to sell some of there tickets???

Just shut your doors.
The UAL pilot group, mainly because of your ALPA, has bent over the rest of the industry by taking over 60% in pay cuts while your CEO makes MILLIONS!
Yeah, your pay cuts are really saving the airline. Bankruptcy twice?
When will you morons learn that pilot paycuts will never save an airline from shutting down? You have your own ALPA pilot group to thank for that.

WayBack, how on God's green earth do you figure 60% pay cuts???????? How many years are you going back to come up with THAT number (gotta be a couple of decades) and why are you ignoring any pay raises that occurred in the interim??? I realize that there are a lot of stupid posts on this forum, but puleeze!

There was an article in the WSJ a few weeks ago that stated most passengers actually preferred it this way. Pay a low fare up front and then pay extra only for the services they valued.

Unfortunately, he's right. People just aren't that smart.

And those not so smart people get drawn to the aviation industry (and apparently the US automotive industry as well) like moths to a fire.

But SWA has it correct. You do not let those web sites show your fares. I wish we would all wise up.
