Maybe the airlines are starting to learn something about their cost-cutting measures and price hiking: customers don't like it.

Meanwhile, General Motors is also learning a few things about consumer behavior in the age of $4 gas, and is now offering discounts on SUVs and trucks. Other news nuggets you need to know today:
