Airline Robbery

The taxes that you, as travelers, were required to pay taxes as a part of your airline tickets, are now being pocketed by the airlines.

It is exactly as though a state stopped collecting sales tax, but the businesses kept charging shoppers sales tax. Peple would not stand for that for a femtosecond. But the airline business is run by pirates who spend their days figuring out how to screw over their customers, so this bit of fuckery is no big surprise.

Nothing's much of a surprise these days. If an airline managed to surprise someone they'd probably want 100 yards between themselves and whatever it was that surprised them.

I surely love the pics of those two beauties you've posted topside. Back when I was showing off in my old 1947 Cessna 140 I always thought I'd eventually be flying one of those babies.

The flying of one would be worth the cars and people a person would inevitably chop to pieces trying to taxi it on a busy airport.

Thanks for brightening my morning by restoring the recollection of a time when it was easier for average people to discover the love of airplanes and altitude.

And when the airlines can resume collecting taxes, I wonder... will the airlines concurrently reduce prices?

Oh HELL no.
