I caused a seen in the airport back in May. I needed to get home so that I could get my kids and the dumbass airline “overweighted the plane” and also “sold more seats” than what were available. They chose me to stay behind and I am not proud to admit it, but I got pissed off and told the fat negress she needed to get the fucking fatasses off the plane and that I shouldn’t be penalized for the airlines fault and fat ass boomers. Motherfuckers called the cops and they came down to have a chat. Originally, airline was gonna give me $800 bucks but I sperged out and they upped it to $2,500. So it kinda worked out.

>want to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes? go right ahead!
Airlines have NO INCENTIVE to not be pieces of shit. Every major airline on earth is effectively a government corporation, they are not allowed to fail. When covid killed travel airlines got trillions in subsidies from governments to fly fucking empty planes around, these aren’t real companies. All of this cash gets pocketed by their board members too, it’s fucking oligarchical

>refuse to regulate big businesses >big businesses monopolize industries >no reason to not do everything they can legally get away with to ensure they get as much money out of you as possible Why are people so against regulations?
Christian Ramirez
Government created laws that created monopolies in the airline industry. There is literally no affordable equivalent to a normal person for flying like having your own car and driving it yourself. The airline industry is one of the scummiest group of faggots on the planet, and all deserve to be homeless. I will never pay for a flight in my life.

Because conservitards like you refuse to even consider nationalizing basic infrastructure that everyone needs.
Jordan Williams
look at all that fucking headroom

I went on a plane just as they started to have non-smoking flights.
It was so fucking godawful that you literally had to light a cigarette otherwise you would choke. This is literally the only thing I agree with that has come of the shift into metal fucking city bus tier tubes that shit rocket peasants across the country.
Driving is infinitely better but long distances for a temporary amount of time or over a body of water this is unfortunately the only option.
>imagine not flying first class, or flying first class without even knowing what aircraft you're on to see if it's even any fucking better.

some people have trouble wrapping their heads around the fact that the us has been a socialist state for a long time now, but arrangements like this are ubiquitous - markets are regulated in intimate detail, making actual competition impossible - at best you can change the colors on the livery, but policies are dictated not by law, but by state bureacrats in "oversight committees" and similar

>the transportation industry with the most non-private involvement is the worst one how do they cope?
Luke King
I think I'd rather be choked out by smoke then be forced to endure modern flights it's the boomers that did it, they needed so desperately to guarantee their pensions that they made all their companies literally impossible to fail
Gabriel Gomez
It was arguably just as bad. Of course this was early 90s. They were already as bad as modern flights, with much crappier seats that couldn't be properly cleaned so every seat had a slick of disgusting beer fart diarrhea cigarette ash oil where you sit and jerry curl shit on the head rests.

I remember smoking on an international flight from the U.S. in the 1990's. The chairs on most jumbo passenger jets used to have built-in ashtrays. We had to go to the back of the cabin though.
