I was just thinking about new ways the airlines can hit you with fees and thought of the brilliant “Arrive Alive” program where paying the fee for the pressurization and oxygenation of the cabin ensures you survive the flight. Maybe they would just deploy the oxygen masks for paying customers rather than using them only in emergencies.

I had thought of paying for use of the toilet; you know hunting for coins to unlock the restroom door while you’re dancing about with a full bladder, but Ryanair was onto this idea already:

You know I would be willing to shell out a few dollars for pleasant flight attendants. The surliness gets old after a while and I already get that from the TSA screeners.
