> I didn't say they would succeed, but that's not really the point. If people don't ask for this, no airline will implement it. If you address the right people in the right way in writing, you may elicit a written response and (if you're extremely lucky) some form of compensation. It is very doubtful that many companies that can afford a 747 Max will change their operations unless political pressure is put on them due to an extreme imbalance of power. If we lived in a world where the imbalance did not exist, things would be different. In some cases, we can see that in smaller airlines which tend to be more responsive to customer concerns and needs. But those companies are flying much smaller planes to start with.
