Airlines are not non-profit organizations. If the government didn't want to let them tack on surcharges to cover the new policies, it should have banned them when the new regulations were written.

I don't think anyone disagrees with that. Most I'm sure have already included that bit of "insurance" into ticket prices. But I think Swoop is just being petty by saying, "you all wanted travel rights? Well pay up."

With Swoops record of cancelled bookings, missed flights and abandoned passengers, they are the reason we need a Bill of Rights!!
