The Power of duct tape .... Does your $356.85 include this duct tape ....

So the avg price for a Metropolitan areas domestic itinerary fare in the 4th quater of 2009 is listed according to bts.gov (Bureau of Transport Statistics). We have this ....are my tax dollars paying for this bureau ... Ok back on subject. So in other words some airline has used duct tape to keep some piece of the plane operational. Was there an extra charge for this like a baggage fee ... For me to risk my life, in an airplane and have to pay what we pay for it($356.85 on average in the 4th quater of 2009 .. in metropolitan areas ... lol) ... the use of duct tape does not make me happy ... Now the official line on this is that it is actually heat tape .... uh ... ok ... and by the way it is stronger than duct tape and very common .... LOL ... uhhh .... ok .... It is freaking Tape .... call it gold Tape ... call it the most valuable tape in the world .... I don't care ... but for $356.85 ... I would like more than just tape keeping my plane in the air and operational. Ok .... now personally ... first this was posted at gizmodo.com .... I am not convinced about the veracity of the pic ... looks a little manufactured...but if not..... is it to much to ask for $356.85 ... that I have more than tape on the wings ... come on folks ... is the bottom line worth a few hundred persons lives ... just to save a few $'s .....I mean when the plane first came off the assembly line was there duct tape there??? Did the other persons $356.85 buy a roll ... A challenge to convince me that the $356.85 which is paid by a couple of hundred persons for a flight or two couldn't provide more that just duct tape on the wings.
