"We need our algorithms to determine how much we charge." No you don't. You have a given number of seats on a flight. You sell the seat to a person. It doesn't make any difference what kind of person it is who is purchasing the seat. Some of these other Senators should just give their time over to Hawley.
Waiting for my flight to board....no airplane waiting for 3 hrs & finally one arrives, we all boarded but sat another hour for the pilot to figure out a flight plan that would allow us to make it to our destination with the amount of fuel we had....(an engine had blown)...& in the end the pilot made the determination he could not get us safely to our destination so we had to get off and go to another gate. The engine blew before it got to Charlotte...it was to fly to Tulsa and back to FL. WITH A BLOWN ENGINE. Who thought that was a good idea. Yeah boy I want to fly with that airline again...said no one ever.
It’s exactly like “hidden fees” on our cell devices. They don’t have to tell us what they are charging us for, If you have an emergency & have to book a flight as such, you are screwed with fees & prices on top of having an emergency that is gonna cost you out the ass
I worked on Spirit aircraft as a contractor. I would never put my butt on the banana boat. I was at a line station and did scheduled overnight checks. A job that should take an hour and a half often took 3 to 4 because their main base maintenance didn’t do their jobs. This was around 2010-13. Judging by this guys testimony, i doubt much has changed.
I once had an AP tell me that working for Air Canada was great because you could "F" up all day long and the union would protect you. This was some twenty years or so ago and I haven't flown Air Canada since.
One time I asked a frontier clerk what they charged to use the restroom on the flight she said why would you ask that? I said you charge for everything else.
Ryanair’s bottom feeding CEO, Michael O’Leary actually considered doing this, but for some reason his stupid idea was met with negative responses. Imagine that!
Many years ago at LAX a airline rep refused to measure my box that was within the limits because I made sure it was and she charged me an excessive size fee.
It’s the same in Canada. I had to be charged a visa fee for flair airline. They charge you less for tickets but then they overcharge you when you’re about to check in. They charge you $25 for checking you in which literally takes them 2 mins. They purposely take longer for this reason too. Airlines in NA are overcharging people everyday and people have no other options.
Budget airlines are a scam, just like budget anything. I'd rather pay more at a traditional airline and know exactly how much baggge can I bring by weight without paying extra than to pay less for a "budget" airline and play Russian roulette with the fees. Remember, if they say a product is free, you are the product.
Oh, what a delight it is to fly with these airlines that perfectly obey international laws! Who wouldn’t want to be completely starving for six hours just to avoid a free meal? And let’s not forget the joy of retrieving our underwear at no extra charge-what a generous gesture! Those tiny cups of coffee they serve, filled to the brim with ice, are truly gourmet. Timeliness? Pfft, who needs it? The thrill of wondering if you’ll arrive on time just adds to the excitement! And those seats? Ah, nothing like being crammed into a glorified torture device for hours on end. And the crew’s attitude? Simply the warmest welcome you could hope for! I really hope they keep doing absolutely nothing about all of this!
Frontier Airlines pays commission for the contracted gate agents to slam the boarding doors shut a Full 20 Minutes before departure time , in addition to the commission they receive for extorting baggage fees from the passengers
Baggage fees were introduced as "temporary" because airlines were losing money. But then they saw how profitable it was and kept them as well as being one of the highest taxpayer subsidized industries.
FACT => IF MY CHECKED BAG, ONE THAT GOES INTO THE AIRCRAFT'S CARGO AREA, IS SAY, 5-10 LBS OVER THE 50 LB LIMIT, I MUST PAY AN ADDITIONAL FEE; USUALLY AROUND $30-$40, TO HAVE THAT BAG PLACED INTO THE CARGO AREA. BUT..... BUT, IF I HYPOTHETICALLY PLACE THAT 5-10 LBS IN MY POCKET AND TAKE MY SEAT IN THE PASSENGER AREA, I PAY NOTHING, ZILCH, NADA!!!! WHY IS THAT??? NOT ONLY THAT, SOME PRESENT DAY FLIGHT ATTENDANTS ARE OBVIOUSLY MASSIVELY OVER WEIGHT COMPARED TO THE WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS FOR FLIGHT ATTENDANTS IN THE 1980'S. I SHOULD KNOW; I'VE APPLIED FOR FLIGHT ATTENDANT JOBS IN THAT DECADE & I HAD TO BE SLIM & TRIM FOR THE JOB. WHY IS THAT????? FACT => THE AIRLINES, ALL OF THEM, ARE RIPPING OFF THE TRAVELING PUBLIC..... PERIOD! BUT, PEOPLE STILL PAY THESE RIDICULOUS FEES AND IF..... IF YOU SHOULD SPEAK OUT AT THE TICKET COUNTER OR GATE, YOU WILL BE DENIED BOARDING AND/OR BE PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM FLYING AND LABELED A VIOLENT PASSENGER; & POTENTIALLY BE ARRESTED!!!!! WHY IS THAT????? I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO CONGRESSMAN HAWLEY ON THESE FACTS.....
If I walked into a courtroom and lied like this?They would bury me under the jail. It is starting to look like they are all friends. I almost expect a warm hug at the end.
Great job of exposing the evil-doers, but once again, where is the accountability? These hearings are a lot of bark, but where is the bite? Were these CEOs charged a punitive fee? Were they put in jail? I don't think so. There needs to be serious teeth put into these hearings make a real change.
People often make the big mistake of not looking into the airline they choose. Especially for international flights. Some are night and day better than others.
Not only do you get your bag pulled from the line now you have to pay to put it underneath to get it shipped to where it needs to go and the least I’ve heard of is $100
This is a manipulative way of avoiding price comparisons after the sale. Upselling fees after the ticket or flight has been committed. As a passenger, always be prepared to refuse to fly and walk away and go on another airline or flight. Be disruptive, cause a delay in departure, and don’t allow these fools to win.
Sen. Josh Hawley is making these lying corporate thieves accountable. It's one thing to charge a fair price for a flight ticket, but these people have made gouging customers their primary M.O. A big thank you to Sen. Josh Hawley for grilling these corporate thieves.
I wanna know why they think they raise ticket prices 500% just because of what day it is. I cant even go to see my 5 year old daughter because the ticket is 2200 just 6 months ago it was 523.
I'm starting to wonder why we're having to hear so long on different subjects and nothing is happening over the crimes that are being talked About Right in front of their face ?
Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines need to go out of business. I, personally will never fly either of these airlines. I call for everyone reading this to join me.
I have always said, this may be the ONLY business where they get their money ahead of providing the service. They have zero incentive to treat you decently once they have your cash in their pocket
I disagree with the senator on this. I’ve been denied overhead space because others have filed it up with huge carryons. Yes, pay a bounty to get those people to gate check their oversized bags!
Lets make one thing clear here - Frontier and Spirit don't actually have any of their own employees. They contract out all of their work to 3rd party companies.
When they centralize a good airline business I want to see how much cope they go through when they get banned for many reasons being some unlawful ones. Nothing makes sense anymore and the fact we get govt to step in is crazy.
I remember the days when they checked your bags for free, it was included in the price of the tickets. Then they kept the ticket price and decided to charge for a checked bag. Scum bags.
make a law that the ticket price includes one carry on and one checked bag and any additional charges should be in bold letters. flying used to be so easy and simple. Now the airlines try an attract you to their airline with lies about prices and fail to tell you what that price gets you until you arrive at the check in
Maybe!!!!! supreme Court needs a new ruling.customer getting everything . employees gets everything the product gets everything . doesn't break second warranty over
The airlines should realize that there is zero that is redeemable about them. They are simply a means to an ends. Whatever they used to be they are not. They are no better than a bus service in the sky.
What saddens me is that as a small business when you treat people poorly it doesn’t last very long until you’re belly up. When you’re a mega corporation you have the power to do that and screw over everyone in the process. All while being able to grow your top and bottom line. We need more competition now and the red tape removed. And this isn’t just an issue with the airlines
Only because the profits and revenue is diluted over millions of people rather than thousands. If huge sectors of the public refused to be treated like cattle and not fly, these guys would sing a different tune. But right now, they are rich, powerful and they don't care what you think or do, people "have" to fly and these guys are free to do as they wish. The only way to win is not to play their stupid game, refuse to fly.
@ 100% correct which is why I don’t anymore. Haven’t flown in ages and will not in the future anytime soon. What we really need though everywhere is more competition to force everyone to clean it up. All these conglomerates act this way because they can and they know they can
Just think, us taxpayers pay for the airline's air traffic operations. Us taxpayers bailed out these airlines after 9/11 and during COVID. It's way past time these airlines pay for their own air traffic control, and leave the taxpayer out of it forever.
That would be a stupid move. Airlines need more regulations and consumer protection laws. I think you're so ideologically consumed that you're afraid to admit that these airlines need government oversight. If they paid for these operations, they would pass those costs to the consumer. Air travel is a necessity in the 21st century; it's like saying we should stop paying taxes for roads since semi-trucks ruin them.
@@23rdMS_Inf 'If they paid for these operations, they would pass those costs to the consumer'. The users of these airlines should bear the cost of air traffic operations not the taxpayer. I pay fuel taxes, and other taxes for the construction and maintenance of highway infrastructure, and I accept that.

And to pay the bounty

No bailouts for these airlines let them fail.
This is why I'd rather spend 2 days driving to Florida instead of flying. The airlines and airports have turned into shit

The Hawley line of questioning was stellar. His result: "King Me", and I aint talikin' Budweiser either.

Lets make one thing clear here - Frontier and Spirit don't actually have any of their own employees. They contract out all of their work to 3rd party companies.
People get charged different fees for bags because one may be heavier or bigger and thus puts more weight on the plane. More weight equals more gas
