Airlines are a disgrace to the gift of flight.
Nice job, you took human flight, something once hailed as breaking the chains imposed on our species by the gods above, and in the name of profit made it the most tedious and insufferable thing imaginable.
You want a good flight experience? No problem.
You want a good flight experience that is also cheap? No sir.
The airlines just cater to the market, if people were able and willing to pay double, things would be vastly better.
Things would not get better, they'd just charge more to increase profit margins. Haven't you ever lived under Capitalism before?
People already pay double, and more, for business and first class. They get a much better experience than economy fliers. The problem with flying economy is that it's a race for the cheapest ticket, so they'll keep cutting service and comfort as long as people still buy tickets.
If people stopped buying economy tickets because the experience isn't acceptable, then it would improve.
Exactly.
