Nothing confusing about all this is there?

No not really. It has worked for YEARS. It allows the airlines to
pass on a cost directly to their passengers without a whole lot of
trouble because it is a /pax tax.

It is if you're not used to it.


Well it has been there for years so the only folks that aren't used to it
are those that don't fly on airlines in the USA.

That's true. I have known about it for years because it gets
routinely ripped off to fund the general deficit instead of going to
airport improvement. I didn't know the amount, however.
