If you want an exit row for leg room, select a regular seat online then ask to be moved to an exit row when you check in with the clerk. Otherwise they'll hit you for $25+ as even the exit row is a "premium" now.
From the perspective of the airlines, I understand this. Rising fuel costs (how much must it cost to fill a plane?), slow economy, air travel down. Weren't there recently a couple of airlines who just closed up shop one day? People purchased their tickets, showed up for their flights and the airline was just gone. No planes, no employees, no scheduled flights, nothing.
I fly Southwest. I'd rather forego a meal, and an assigned seat than to pay for a pillow or to check a bag.
It works better for me because Southwest allows passengers to check in online 24 hours prior to departure. Get to the airport. Go straight to your gate. I like that.

I agree with the Prince. Southwest model makes more sense.
But other than that. Fug it. I aint flying other than when absolutely necessary.

The numbers of people who routinely take their shoes and belts off - WHEN EVERYBODY KNOWS GOOD AND GOTDAMN WELL ... Grandma Etta Mae Tucker ... IS NO AL QAEDA TERRORIST - is evidence of the mass conditioning of the American people. It is preparation for the increasingly totalitarian police state to come.
100's of millions of American citizens are funneled through largely unnecessary airline security measures each year, like rats through a maze, serves to condition Americans to unwarranted searches and seizures and a government that uses "security" as an excuse to seize power.
Continental is the bomb. Flush with Haliburton and KBR $$$$ servicing those international junkets to and from the middle east and hubbed out of Bush airport in Houston.
They still running things old school like it was still 1968. They had me delayed for about an hour in Louisiana, (no problem whatsoever for me) and issued everybody a $10 meal voucher to use at the Houston airport.
Check bags, pillows, blankets, seat selection, everything, no extra charge.....,
"Oh Shit! ... GMO Food Sterilizes People ... And It's Really A Form of Population Control?"
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"

*George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist, critic
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness... If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear... The great enemy of clear language is insincerity... The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it... To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle... For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.
