Recently I came across a cartoon in which the flight attendant demonstrates the use of oxygen masks in case of an emergency. It is the part of the usual pre-flight safety drills but with one change. It needs you to swipe your credit card prior to the dropping of the oxygen mask. i.e.Even in an emergency, you can’t breath free, if you have exceeded your credit limit.
At the time I was reading it, I thought it to be too extreme and wondered which airlines would go to such lengths to squeeze out its already depleting list of passengers. So I didn’t bother to save the link for you. However to compensate I have saved this one which is just as good and as a bonus it comes with a good article that bears upon the current turmoil the airline industry is mired in.
