Man idk if that's actually better. Most airlines are barely profitable as is, this just means the cost will get spread out to all customers instead of only the ones paying premiums. It does feel shitty to be nickel and dimed for every little thing, but I'm not sure if this is better.

Fee based pricing IS predatory, though. Often times, it's preying on people who lack resources and capital in order to subsidize those with greater financial security.
