Default Airlines Cutting Fuel Costs

On Delta you'll find yourself in a thinner lighter seat, JetBlue cross-country, you'll get a dainty bag of 100-calorie crisps in place of the original snack box of cookies, crackers and spreadable cheese.

To cut back on jet fuel prices, airlines are looking for ways to lighten the load, eliminating dead weight, from redundant wing lights to extra wires in the walls. The Manufacturers are using lighter materials in plane construction.

Should we be concerned?
