I understand it is a competitive business but this is the result of consolidation and less competition. Delta, United, American, they're all awful. Who would have thought South West would become the Premier Airline to travel on.
While they continue to reduce capacity, load factors increase. They have everything down to a fine science using Big Data and their Algo's to come up with how many seats to oversell, how many folks they can leave behind, what flights to cancel, etc. They have completely embraced this business model of monetizing every triviality that they can possible get away with. The people traveling are just units, not even customers anymore. Everything is about squeezing every penny they can out of every seat mile and who gives a shit whether you are treated like a human. It's not like you have many options. It's either Shit A, Shit B or Shit C, pick one.
How I look forward to self driving cars that can get 800-1000 miles on a single charge. I can sit in the comfort of my vehicle and read, sight see, rest, or even work as I travel to my destination. I would gladly sit in the car for 10-12 hours instead of flying.
