I flew again this week for the first time in a while, and the first time since the airlines began charging fees for just about everything. One phrase came to mind:
"Lower your standards!"
John Lovitz was about 15 years ahead of his time (a phrase that cannot often be uttered) when he created this catchphrase. There was a time when Southwest Airlines was a punchline itself, the place you went to be crammed into an aluminum tube like cattle, fed only with peanuts.
My, how times have changed.
With airlines now charging for every service they provide, all the way down to a simple cup of water, Southwest now looks pretty good. Look, peanuts! And they're free!
