US Airways – Better Bring a Book

As the airline tries to cut expenses on domestic flights, you'll find this welcomed feature axed by fall. Simply put, just another casuality of rising fuel costs with many more to come. While movie executives and Hollywood will suffer a slight blow from this decision, they do not predict other airlines to follow suit. On the bright side, you will have plenty of time to dust off that bestseller calling your name.

Wow. You know, I read somewhere that in the 80's, an airline saved over $40,000 by removing the olives from the salads for a year. I don't know how true that is but I'd be worried about customers going with another airline if I removed amenities people are accustomed to. Great post.
