I support when people react poorly in the context of airlines. I want as many unruly passengers as possible to strike fear into airlines and a government that seems hell bent on making flying as painful and frustrating as possible. I miss the COVID era rebelliousness among airline passengers. When one freaks out, remember that at least some of the docile faces and people around them are rooting for them to continue. Ultra low tier services like spirit airlines shouldn't exist for flights longer than 4 hours. Ultra Economy seats for more than 10 hours might as well qualify as torture in some nations.

  If no one flied them, they wouldn't exist, and regular economy airlines would be cheaper. To be clear, I am saying that spirit airlines tier ultra low cost airlines are bad for everyone because it means that the economics of scale don't kick in as well for the economy tier airlines right above the bottom as offered by say, delta or Alaska (which is the first level at which flying isn't torture) Consumers are wrong and actively bad for being willing to buy ultra low cost tickets on long flights. These people are wrong and regulations should exist to prevent their lunacy. We do this in many other industries where there would be a race to the bottom of regulations didn't exist. Water, transportation, electricity, why not airlines?

    There is no race to the bottom every airliner has to follow the same safety regulations. And people have the freedom to decide for themselves what they consider torture. I remember when I was young I used to spend the last 24 hours of a vacation without sleep in order to cut hotel costs.

So you support making lots of other people miserable so that one miserable asshole can express himself?
