“As I tweeted this week, the hollowing out of commercial air travel mirrors the hollowing out of everything else the middle class once got to enjoy with relative ease and safety: pleasant towns, nice neighbors, good public schools, and wholesome children’s entertainment.

Middle-class things are vanishing as fast as the actual middle class. But as many times as you read an article about “the shrinking middle class,” watching it happen in real-time is quite something.”.........

They need to get the middle class out of the skies so that the elites can have more of the space to themselves.

Interestingly enough, isn’t it amazing how this comes up at a
time when the WEF wants us to settle down in 15 minute
cities and give up the right travel across this nation at
will?

I smell so great big rats in on this. (intentional ?)

Just about nothing works well in this country anymore. On top of that, name one thing the gooberment has made better or cost less. Just one.

You are being conditioned to stop flying. Planes and panic. Commercial Airlines travel industry is like the Coal industry in the minds of the ruling elites. They have a separate and not equal private jet fleet and don't share the private side of the airport. No TSA checks either.

The WEF at Davos issued a draft proposal to force citizens to apply and show need for air travel. There will be caps on permitted travel.

Alfred E Kahn

Alfred Edward Kahn (October 17, 1917 – December 27, 2010) was an American economist and political advisor who specialized in regulation and deregulation. He was an important influence in the deregulation of the airline and energy industries.[1] Commonly known as the "Father of Airline Deregulation,"[2] he chaired the Civil Aeronautics Board during the period when it ended its regulation of the airline industry, paving the way for low-cost airlines, from People Express to Southwest Airlines.

It all went downhill after the Airline Deregulation Act

Commercial aviation in particular has been hurt by the rise in fractional jet ownership of corporate-style jets.

The corporate jets are better maintained, with better and non-DIE pilots, and operate out of clean, small airports closer to upscale neighborhoods.

Once wealthier people could afford fractional jet ownership of corporate jets (or hired sharp accountants to help write it all off as business expenses), the larger commercial jets were reduced to transporting the unwashed masses on flying buses.

Over Speaker: So if you happen to be the passenger who sees the rusty bolts coming loose, use the fix-it bag under your seat to tighten or replace them.💺🛬
And newly open seams can be fixed with a spray can just like inflating your flat car tire.

Have a pleasant flight.

For the elite, yes.

They want is eliminated and do not care how they do it and what it costs us.

My middle class has shrunk so much that I am headed to the Southern Border to fight for Texas.

Going by train with my pack, small tent , AR-15, .45 Colt ,
and 6 cans of beans.

I am not worried about food ,if they can feed thousands of wet backs, they can spare a little for me.

I don’t see anything wrong with airline pilots asking Google for landing instructions instead of bothering a DEI ditz. Better yet, turn the whole air traffic control process over to AI. What could possibly go wrong? /s

NOt only do they have a continuous party on board, but the people are great.

So long as the important people have private planes, YOUR concerns mean nothing.

Nothing.

Want a change? New law mandating DEI for all private planes. Cockpit must match society in NYC.
