Airlines!!

Everyone hates airlines! Flights are so expensive and the whole "hub" situation for airlines may be the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. I can see why an airline would be willing to have a contract with an airport but this was put in place when not many cities actually had international airports. Times are changing and airlines are not. Why should I pay $400 from NYC to Kansas City especially when I have a lay over in Chicago? How does that make sense? My travel time will be doubled because of this stupid layover and it just adds stress and the money that I spend on the ticket loses it's utility purpose once I have this layover. Airlines also don't stop there! They are not charging for every piece of luggage that you want to check! If you are going anywhere for more than a week, you add to your total cost at least $25 for the traveling. This was done by airlines to try and make up for outrageous gas prices but little do they know that gas has come down and they are still making quite a bit of money on their inflated ticket prices!! What is even worse is the people that actually pay for these bag fees. They are telling the airlines that it is ok to charge for these bags. Since people are paying for bags and the airlines are making more money off of these bags, why change right? Airlines are the greediest corporations of all!
