WASHINGTON (MON) — Today a group representing US Airways, American Airlines, and Delta announced further cutbacks to help curtail ever increasing gas expenses. Earlier in the week the airliners outlined a plan to remove their entertainment systems which can weigh up to 500 pounds.
Spokesman Carlyle Smith had this to say:
With ever increasing fuel costs, without relief in sight, it is our groups’ opinion that the following changes be necessarily made. We propose that all guests only wear Croc brand shoes. While this will assist us in lowering the unneeded weight of heavier leather or other synthetic material based shoes, and it will also help you, our guests.
We’ve also decided to replace some plane landing gears with a lighter more fun landing device. It is an inflatable landing pad made from a new type of rubber, and is comparable with what NASA has used in the past for various lunar landings. This will only be apart of a preliminary program and is not yet being considered for full implementation.
While some of the changes have come to some as a shock one person seemed adament. Eleanor Svenson of Boise, Idaho said:
I’m quite excited about all of the changes. I adore Crocs shoes and I love bouncy castles, I’m in my element. I’m determined to help keep travel costs low. I’ve even forced my husband to stop wearing heavy unnecessary boxers, and to switch over to lighter weight synthetic bikini cuts!
