Airlines have been on a diet, trying to shed those extra pounds, so they can fly lighter, leaner. But much like when one member of a family starts a diet, and others have to adjust their habits to the new scheme, passengers are forced to adjust when airlines diet.
The latest casualty is the audio-video equipment on US Airways. The airline, in its continuing effort to become Southwest, without the charm, is cutting the video on its domestic flights. (No big loss, frankly, since all they seem to show is Travel Channel quizzes and ads for Anthony Bourdain. Yes, I get it. He has a show.)
But what else have airlines cut to reduce weight? Jared Blank points us to an interesting synopsis of what’s been done to shrink the aeronautic waistline. Check it out.
At least other cuts, like AA’s cutting the number of olives in the first class salad, wasn’t done in the name of weight.
