Catchy headline...too bad the story doesn't come close to justifying it. In fact, there isn't a single objective fact about 'soaring frustration' anywhere in it. A survey is mentioned but none of the details are given nor is a link to it provided. The reporter might be interested in checking out Gallup's latest numbers about airlines, available at http://www.gallup.com/poll/1579/airlines.aspx.
let us remember that profitability on many flights is reflected with one or two passengers revenue contributions. That being said, I cringe at Spirit airlines with their descent to the bottom in passenger comfort and "service". I take trains when possible for the comfort and calm and pleasure. High speed train service connecting all of the lower 48 states appeals to me, even if only a fantasy.
