There have also been hilarious responses to the airlines finding new ways to make money. Here’s what appeared in The Onion:
What new revenue streams are the other airlines implementing?
United—$25 seatbelt rental fee for passengers who didn’t bring their own
Midwest—$35 to sit in the passenger compartment
JetBlue—New fee structure for wait times on runway: $150 for under 2 hours, $75 for under 4 hours, etc.
Frontier Airlines—$20 penalty if passenger is not wearing coonskin cap
Continental—$100 reduced-fare tickets for standing-room-only passengers
Southwest—Ten bucks to touch the captain
Virgin—$30 fee for booking a flight with another carrier
Delta—$50 to chip in for gas
