Airlines are upset at new taxes and fees proposed in the United States and have protested them vigorously in public media and by even handing out barf bags urging people to contact their Congressmen.  Their main contention is that rising taxes will hurt demand and cripple their businesses.

They’ve also raised fares twice in the last 2 weeks.

No one ever said airlines were politically smart.
