Given that I just read this comment after getting off a connecting flight that had me waiting on a fully boarded plane in 100 degree Phoenix weather for half an hour, it’s pretty poignant. I read an article earlier today about how Phoenix may not be inhabitable in twenty years, and I’m here to tell you that it’s already insufferable no matter how well the A/C was or was not working on that plane.
I don’t need a plane that flies faster. I need an airline that puts pure service before profit.
- roywiggins 3mo agoGood news, airlines already barely profit: https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/2025-releases/2025-12-09-01/ https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/2025-releases/2025-12-09-0...
- DannyBee 3mo agoThere is no profit, which is why their is no service. The average profit margin is 4% on flying. At this point, airlines make most of their actual profit from credit cards. I forget who said it, but "airlines are banks that happen to fly planes" is true, at least profit wise.
