The Denver Post should refrain from publishing “puff pieces” that seeks to legitimize the deceitful, dishonest & despicable selling models that preys on underinformed, decidedly inexperienced flyers, where basic ncessisties for most travelers, especially those w/young children such as advanced seat assignments, checked bags, use of overhead bins, and more, are subject to purchasing vast array of increasingly exorbitant nuisance fees.

Indeed, it’s gotten so out of control throughout the airline industry, that it’s more of an extortionist shakedown, than anything fair or reasonable.

What Franke advocates is nothing more than a greed grab that’s based on a shameful “bait & switch” where those who lack the knowledge to understand how they’re being tricked by low-ball airfares that include nothing but an unknown row/seat on the plane, think they’re getting a great deal at first, but after paying a wide array of fees a later points in time, pay more than expected.

Usually, much more...
