The Perils of Flying

First comes news that American Airlines will start charging coach passengers $8 for blankets and pillows (but you get to take them home and you get a coupon for $10 off a $30 purchase at Bed Bath & Beyond!), then we hear that Southwest is being investigated by the FAA for a third time in two years. I still think it’s safer for me to fly rather than drive, and no one offers me a pillow and blanket when I’m in the car. So, really, I don’t think it’s all that bad.
