From the article:
“Airlines have seen a massive surge this year in the number of unruly passenger incidents, with over 5,300 instances reported.
On Monday, the Federal Aviation Administration revealed the agency received nearly 300 reports of passenger disturbances due to alcohol and intoxication. Well over 3,800 of the total reports stem from passengers refusing to wear face coverings as federally mandated on flights. “
From my high and lofty place, in the airline scheme of things, I observed that the Greyhound Bus Stations had been emptied and that flying was no longer the orderly, “nicely dressed folks in the cabin experience” it had been.
Sitting next to a man, who was dressed like he had just left the gym and having to “enjoy” his hairy legs, armpits and odor meant flying was no longer the luxury it once was.
Do the math folks. It is SO much cheaper to fly today and it is the airline’s fault that the “undressed” show up, flip flops and all. It is revenue and the “load factor” has to be over 90% to pay for that Jumbo Jet! It used to be 50% or better, resulted in profit!
Now, How do we like flying “coast to coast,” wearing an unhealthy mask for two hours in the airport, to 5+ hours in the airplane?
And our airline falls in line with the Fauci led gestapo!
The main stadium in Philadelphia has a jail cell in the basement, for football rowdies. Maybe airplanes need a cell in the cargo hold.
