save fuel, ditch passengers

Due to soaring fuel costs, airlines are trying to cut down on weight.

Emirates Airlines will not provide its inflight magazine Open Skies and has banned onboard paper on A380 flights. Air Canada's regional carrier Jazz is removing its life jackets.

AirAsia X, which is expanding its routes in Australia, is considering additional charges for overweight passengers.

Perhaps it is time to ditch passengers altogether. After all, they weigh the most.

I had the day off work today but didn't do anything at all. Sometimes, doing nothing is the best way to spend a day. I wonder if watching a marathon session of GRΣΣK counts as doing nothing.
