Sure, the other pilots might think he's a traitor. But Vance Atkinson, 64, who spent 30 years flying for an unnamed airline actually admits that the airline industry is screwing its customers. An article quoting Atkinson's disillusionment with the state of the airline industry appeared in The New York Times Tuesday.
Atkinson lays out a plan to improve passengers' flight experience by forcing airlines to stop cutting corners. On the other hand, this means we need to be willing to pay higher ticket prices. Hmm, you had us until then Vance. Good thing there's SkyBus.
