If they saved any money, I am sure they would simply leave the surcharge as is and make a few bucks more on each passenger. Actually I think they should not be allowed to assess fuel charges at all, simply raise the price of the ticket and let us see the total price. Somebody someplace thinks that by hiding this fee (which is now getting levied on many "free" frequent flyer tickets as well), people may be less sensitive to it (they may be right). Enjoying the blog (and the alerts), keep up the good work! Who said anything about dropping the fuel surcharges?
