There is no big deal.. its all about control with the airlines these days. They are not happy unless they boss you around and stomp on you with jackboots.
Its the number one reason I will not fly anymore.
First, we had the unalienable right to contraception, and only days later we have the unalienable right to pollute an aircraft cabin.
You can fly or not, I don’t care, but it’s a lie that airlines are not happy unless they boss you around and stomp on you with jackboots. They want to get along. Now I won’t argue if you say that individuals abuse their petty power sometimes, but not that there is an industry wide abuse of customers just for kicks.
