It's not enough that they've taken our meals, our leg room, and our on-time departures.  Now they take our <I>dignity</I>, by hitting us up for an <I>airline credit card</I> while we are <I>held captive</I> on their <I>smelly planes</I>. 
<P><DIV>Here's how US Airways does it:  they turn one unlucky stewardess into a seat-to-seat saleswoman.  She gives you the pitch, then she walks down the aisle with applications, while people try to avoid meeting her gaze.
