"Mad about airline fees" effort soaring
Perhaps it was our post on this blog two weeks ago about the launch of the "we're mad as hell about airline fees" campaign that caused it to go viral.
(Check out the Web site at www.MadAsHellAboutHiddenFees.com ) Perhaps it was the steady trickle of news articles and blog posts about the effort, aimed at convincing federal regulators to get tough in its current rulemaking that would make airlines disclose more information about fees before we pay for a ticket. And perhaps -- and this is what really has happened -- it's that a well-organized campaign, based on valid complaints, can really strike a nerve when it's about a pocketbook issue, and fairness.
