#BritishAirways has been charging for advance assigned seating in Biz Class for years. I'm already spending $5k-$10k for J class & you're nickel-and-diming me. Now #Delta and #United & others consider doing the same & limiting access to lounges. This is not how to achieve loyalty.

I'm a Chicago area native but lived away for 40 yrs, most recently Seattle for 26 yrs. I was looking toward a Bears/Hawks match and wondering who I'd be for now that I'm back in Chicago. Looks like I won't have to worry about it

It's the same debate that's plagued Seattle's Sound Transit for decades. ST3, the 3rd tax vote, took service away from the city I lived in and as a result we rejected the tax by 51-49 vote. Ditto other areas. Renton (home to the 737) got nothing. But Seattle had enough votes and it passed anyway.
