Southwest rips off PAX Taxes!

[kwick]

Why would a company that SHOUTS "Bags Fly Free!"

Rip-Off their passengers for the taxes that they paid?

Profit, toujours la profit!

How is this ripping off passengers? PAX would be paying the same no matter who kept that money. Just happens to go to the airlines now instead of the Government. Much better place for it to go anyway.

agreed

Are you kidding? When you take a person's money under false pretenses, there is a term for that....FRAUD.

Even USAir reneged and started returning the tax money to people they collected it from.

Alaska was the only honest airline in this incident...they didn't collect the taxes as soon as the legislation lapsed.

God forbid the passengers pay a profit margin above the cost of travel....geez

No kidding. It would be nice if people would just pay what it cost to produce a product.

But collecting "taxes" that aren't on the books is bait and switch at best, out and out fraud at worst.

So much for SWA "luvving" their customers.

Well played Southwest

Maybe they will make more money to pay us more money. Southwest still charging for bags and seat assignment on DA Tranny.
