Friends, you have been, for a long time, buying airline seats at below the actual cost to the airlines. For a few hundred dollars one can fly in safety and comfort from the cold climes to an island such as Jamaica. Now airlines are making a profit and may be able, after many years, to buy new and better airplanes and provide better facilities for your comfort. But the public is crying for cheaper fares! The airline employees lost their jobs and pensions. The ones employed no longer enjoy the salaries that they once had. Now salaries are being improved but even the prestigious jobs such as pilots have do not match what other professionals earn. Air travel is one of the great bargains that we can enjoy. No place on the globe is that far away and at a price that most of us can manage if we really want to. Recline that seat-not so far as to hit my knees-and enjoy the flight.
