How is it that the airlines are continuously losing money if they keep bumping up fares and fees and all that crazy ish? I don't understand.

Do you get paid more then 2 years ago?

yes?

well airlines work in the same way. Except that gas / regulatory fees / security improvements / wages have risen faster then ticket prices. Therefore people are charging for bags (Adds weight therefore uses more fuel)

Oh I gotcha. Speaking of that euphoric moment. Anyone ever gotten drunk, made out with some chick and experience rollercoaster-esque feelings?
yeah, it was me falling off the couch, and then trying to stand back up and falling down again.

Because they keep over selling flights I'm on and paying to put me up in a hotel rather than just flying me home.
