These frequent flyer rewards are aiding businesses in an important function of their operations: communications. This is a phony remedy on climate change in order to hit the real enemy of these Marxists: Capitalism. Air travel is safer and actually an energy saver in costs per mile.

Why not just outlaw advertising by airlines, just like tobacco advertising was outlawed?

Or why not just tell all the airlines to shut down because you don’t like them?

OK. I submit that Climate researchers should not travel anywhere for meetings/conferences or collaborations. All of this could be done by phone or via Skype. No more international flights to Berlin, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, London, Bejing, Nairobi, Copenhagen, Heidelberg, Montreal, Santiago, Rabat (Morocco), Stockholm, Geneva, Bonn, Paris, etc.

These are all places holding climate conferences in 2019, and this is not a complete list. This is the academic lifestyle, and these holier than thou butt-heads should put their lifestyle where their rhetoric is.

Put both kids college education on the American Airlines card, plus we pay as many monthly bills with it as possible. I’d pay the house payment with it if I could (I asked). But we always pay the card’s full balance due every month...never ever run a balance.

If my older brother had had long hair and a braid when he was a kid he would have looked exactly like Greta Whatshername.

Weird.

Do these people not realize that most of the people racking up FF miles would already PREFER to be traveling less often?

Most are not doing it for fun, of if it is fun at first, it becomes a grind real quick.

Just another example of how out of touch with everyday people these warriors are.

The jackoffs who prepared that BS "report" should be hunted down like dogs. Thanks Libloather.

I am guilty of logging almost 21,000 hours of pilot in command time in Jet propelled airplanes. (USAF and Airline)
I sincerely, well almost sort of sincerely, apologize for the horrible thing that I have done. Almost, almost, do I feel sorry and apologize to the many folks, that have been my passengers, for the evil that they have done because of my professional efforts to house and clothe my family through the 38+ years I was involved in polluting the Earth.
