Comments on: Airlines Are Restricting Fuel To Cut Costs! http://www.vagabondish.com/airlines-restricting-fuel-cut-costs/ The Travelzine for Today's Vagabond Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:51:34 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Jesse Cooper http://www.vagabondish.com/airlines-restricting-fuel-cut-costs/comment-page-1/#comment-7669 Jesse Cooper Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:43:42 +0000 http://www.vagabondish.com/?p=2177#comment-7669 Elizabeth: I don't doubt that holding back fuel for flights is plenty better for the environment, but in my opinion, a line has to be drawn between cutting costs, possibly lowering emissions, and the overall safety of the flight's passengers. Very interesting read though, thank you for the comment and link.

I have to say Im sick to death of every one blaming every one else. If it's not the rising cost of oil it's how heavy your bag is or it's the wrong shape you have to pay extra for that. Yes i agree in part the airlines should take our safety as paying (through the nose) customers seriously, but... I think we should be thinking more towards the big oil sheiks who sit there a say, "I'm bored, let's put the price of our oil up and watch the ensuing chaos."

However, this is a little better for the environment. I just did a bunch of research about how much fuel it takes to fly.
