2 of America's Favorite Airlines Are Increasing Fees
The last couple of years have not been kind to JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU) and Alaska Air Group (NYSE: ALK).

Just last year I used about 10% of my accumulated miles to fly on a partner airline, Air France, from NY to Rome and back, Because I wasn't able to get First Class on the return, the FF representative suggested and booked my return with a 4 day stay in Paris, so that I could fly First the entire way. My prior experience with Delta is like comparing a Yugo to a Ferrari. I ran from Delta to Alaska and have never looked back I will live with the fee increases, as the exist, but doubt they will impact me much, since I usually fly in Business/First for any flight over 2 hours.
Kind of like Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer being your 2 favorite neighbors.
O.K. Forrest, where did you come up with that little piece of depravity to parable airline competition. Civility is a dying art. Mostly from the losers!
