If I sell a thing for $100 that cost me $99 to procure, is a $1 fine a rounding error in that transaction? In any case, the majority of the revenue certainly didn't come from the UK.

It must have gone downhill since my last flight with them. I vividly remember getting something like 18 Mbps in a speed test and was shocked that they were giving it away. This article from 2017 confirms that it was 15 Mbps at one time: ht

I have the same flight stats and I have only had to ask for a refund once because it straight up didn’t work for most of the flight. Many airlines have very usable internet now, some even for free (jetBlue).

The goal is to highlight that legal judgments having more teeth is a pro of a cashless society. You shouldn’t be able to easily side step them. What more do I need to know? If they don’t want the judgment used as a counter example, they sho

Everyone has “that story” about one particular airline but AA is particularly bad because a large portion of their fleet is old and requires a lot of maintenance which unsurprisingly causes delays and cancelations. I echo the statement that

I don’t actually. Amazon is on the “fail” list. It sounds like you want APIs for all of your services. That’s fair. But I don’t think the vast, vast majority of people have use cases as you describe so the ROI on providing something and mai
