Major U.S. airlines raise fees by three dollars

Delta, United and JetBlue all raise prices, coincidence?

I’m just gonna read you some wire copy, you draw your own conclusions, alright?

Reuters 10:45 this morning Los Angeles time.

Here’s the entire item:

United, Delta, Jet Blue each separately raised one-way airfares by three dollars, attributed to company spokesmen.

Like, they all three came up with the idea all by their lonesomes, right?

It’s worth a mention here, and entirely relevant, that the Justice Department is looking into whether airlines are working together to illegally keep fares high.

We report, you decide.
