    “Airlines should compete with one another to secure passengers’ business—not to see who can charge the most in surprise fees,” US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.

    That makes sense, until you see airlines pulling out huge profits then using our subsidies to operate while whining air travel is not a good business

      Which airline is making huge profit? I can’t find even one that isn’t breaking even ± 1 or 2 percent.

      AA is the biggest, but makes no profit. Delta makes a small profit compared to their revenue.
