Why do the airlines tend to nickel and dime us rather than just do a small increase of say $5 or $10 per ticket and do it quietly? I just don't understand airline management...

I don't know if it was intentionally done by the Amtrak Marketing Department, but if so, BRAVO!! THAT is some well-placed marketing. If the airlines want to have a race to see who can devalue their product the fastest, looks like Amtrak wants to be there to pick up those passengers that will undoubtedly reach the breaking point and seek other transportation options. I love flying, but I gotta say GO AMTRAK! on this one! So I went to the linked article announcing these changes and I have to say that I LOVED the well placed ads for Acela Express service on Amtrak!

In fact, I was surprised this didn't happen a year ago or even before that. Are we really surprised about the charge for drinks?
