Many people seem to hold the view that airlines are "tight" - sometimes it feels as though the industry is regarded in a particularly dismal light by almost everybody.

Surely, any business is run to maximise profit for the shareholders. That is accepted practise for everybody, except apparently airlines?

On this particular issue, I favor the cock-up rather than the conspiracy theory.
