But also remember they do that because their employer has opted to pay them as little as possible How far do you want to take this? :)

How far do you want to take this? :)
- fragmede 3mo agoWell, we could always try communism just one more time.
- wat10000 3mo agoThe thing is, this is far from universal. People don't buy a substantially worse smartphone or car to save $5. But they'll accept a substantially worse product to save $5 on airline tickets.
- gib444 3mo agoWhich two airlines have substantially different products for a $5 difference? If you didn't mean literally $5 perhaps you can give us some real examples of cost differences? Personally I find so little difference between airlines in economy these days. And Premium Economy is nowhere close to a '$5' difference long haul these days
- wat10000 3mo agoThey don't, because competition erases those differences. It's a very competitive market. If people were willing to pay a little extra for a few more inches of seat pitch in economy, you'd have an airline that offered a few more inches of seat pitch in economy with slightly higher fares.
- interloxia 3mo agoThey do? It's a common upsell for 50-100ish per flight leg.
- wat10000 3mo agoElsewhere people are saying it’s not a realistic alternative because it’s too expensive. I think people just want a better product without paying any more money. I hate cramped economy seats too, and I fly in them anyway, but I acknowledge that I’m deliberately choosing money over comfort and it’s my own doing.
