      just bc someone says something loudly and passionately does not make them right. if you actually analyze his words, he is usually wrong. For example, during the Zuck hearing he asked Zuck who did he fire for minors being exposed to sexual stuff on Instagram. I would have said to Hawley "So if a pedophile goes out in public and exposes himself to school children, then the Mayor of that town should fire someone?"
      The obvious answer is no. But Hawley asked Zuck who he fired multiple times. No offense, but Hawley is not well thought out. I have seen multiple examples of this.

      The funny thing is that yall want the Ultra Low Cost Carriers to fail and then will bitch that the price of airfare is too high. These airlines are set up where you pay for what you need. Your base fare is based on a seat and nothing more. If you "need" to bring a carry on or a checked bag you will pay for it. The legacy airlines like American, United, Delta also charge you for a carry on but you dont see the cost because it is buried in the fare. Usually the fares you will you pay for the same flight between the ULCC and the Legacy airlines will be double or triple the cost on the Legacy airlines. Its very clear on the ULCC sites about bag fees but people just skip right by it. People will also whine about having to pay for a bag even though they paid $30 for a ticket on the ULCC airline where the same fare on the Legacy airlines would be $100 or more

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.

      The problem is the government made the bag fees exempt from federal income tax. They gave the incentive to do it.

    I have been flying since the late eighties. I remember comfy seats and generous seat recline. I also remember meals being standard in economy if flying more than 700 miles. Northwest Airlines once served my flight Corkey’s BBQ out of Memphis with chopped pork or chicken sandwiches, baked beans, coleslaw and peach cobbler with ice cream and it was incredible. That was the coach meal service. Of course, then airlines were consistently flirting with bankruptcy. Post 9/11, airlines have found a way to turn profits. I do miss the good ole days of flying but I also realize the cost of running an airline is extremely expensive. It is what it is. Purchase what you need and roll with it.

    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.....

    I sat and had beers with a major airline retired VP of Revenue. Over several hours he gave me a lesson in how airlines maximize their prices and fees. It's crazy how much goes into the algorithm. It's not just seats, but as an example, something called "flow-through". Additionally all airlines also monitor other airlines in the same markets, and change seats prices based on other airline prices.
