1175858 2011-02-07 23:02:00 @#$% thats expensive. Who is going to pay to use that?

When people are in holiday mode, they have little hesitation.
Take pre-Internet flight days. I was on Jetstar flight to Asia via Gold Coast. Food was only incl on the Asia flight even if you paid that $70 return food thingie. I just bolted up and didn't have anythign to drink or eat for the Aussie flight :D but felt alone.

People who didn't prebook meals at time of booking, actually buy a meal or two snacks which adds up ... like a cup noodle might cost $5 or that $8 panini and they go and order alcohol a few times inflight, they also purchase the in-flight entertainment console which might of cost $25. A meal w/o drinks might cost $14-16 ...

There are also people who fly urgently due to a family crisis (accident, illness, death, etc.) who would pay high costs for texts, email or phone. In January this happened to a friend of mine on her way to Germany. She used the screen on the (Emerites) seatback in front of her, with a credit card, in order to text (perhaps email) family members.

Remind me again who debunked the safety thing?
I've been in the aviation industry for over 30 years and I don't agree.
