DOWNGRADE

Southwest Airlines announced recently that it would soon eliminate the "premium service" offered on it's recently-acquired rival AirTran. Big deal, right?

It sort of is, as there is now a long-line of competitors who are scaling back the (i.e. my) beloved First Class service. In an attempt to boost profits, some airline executives have hinted they may end the service completely.

WTF?

If this is true, then I'm not seeing many airline trips in my future.

The time as come for the airlines to just slap a sticker on their planes that says "a subsidiary of Greyhound Bus Lines, Inc" and call it a day.
