THE PEOPLE VOTED and selected cheap. Not service, not safety, not anything but cheap.
That may be true, and many people admit to it as well, they are the same people who get stuck in the middle seat of a 10 seat across 777ER for 12 hours cause they are stupid too!
I think at this point though, the bean counters have figured out how to charge more for less. Yes, the seats are cheap...but they are no longer worth the price. They are not "that cheap"!
People have just become use to **** service....
