Airlines' Extreme Measures

Due to the rising cost of fuel, airlines are taking extreme measures to save money. US Airways is canceling all of the movies on their flights so that they can remove the in-flight movie system. This will remove about 500 pounds per plane. (One pound removed per plane saves an estimated 13,000 gallons of fuel each year.) The expected savings are $10 million a year.

Other airlines are charging for aisle seats.
