Yeah, see, that's how a plane flies. No wingies, no fly. Good to see they have single-digit IQ folks working for the airlines. Very reassuring.

Let see. You made it 2/3 of the way to your destination. If we prorate your fare, we owe your estate a rebate of $121.17.

All the winglet does is make the wing more efficient by reduction of tip vortex drag. Also it is such a tiny amount of wing area compared to the rest of the wing, and it is not in the horizontal plane so it is not producing that kind of lift..
So the airline is right, but still if the passenger is not comfortable, he should not have to fly. I dont think I would like looking out at it either.
