Dear American Taxpayers,
You will doubtless be delighted to hear that I will be flying back to DC on some airline I've never even heard of (AirTran? WTF?) that isn't even part of any of the airline alliances. I will have to pay to check my bags and won't earn any frequent flyer miles and will have to make a stop rather than flying direct, turning a simple three-hour flight into an eight-hour ordeal including a needless three-hour layover in Atlanta. And all this is to save the U.S. Government a few measly hundred dollars and to save you personally some tiny fraction of a cent. I hope you're happy.
Love and Kisses,
Meredith
