Open boarding was one of the chief features as well as low prices.
I guess we don’t deserve you know affordability, and decent service all that too good for the great unwashed
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @pluralistic I used to fly exclusively southwest because of free bag checks and the open seating. But this and Southwest also got a huge taxpayer bailout during COVID and instead of upgrading it’s infrastructure it paid shareholders and canceled 60% during the holidays. So they can go fuck themselves
@jeremymuller @GhostOnTheHalfShell @pluralistic It's so wild how little we have to show for the bailouts of 2009-2021 other than shareholder value. Billions upon billions in public money that just evaporated into the pockets of the people who needed it most.
Anyway, let's arrest people for stealing baby formula.
