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
"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.
Hawley isn't just an embarrassment to himself. He's an embarrassment to our country. No wonder people look at congress as a joke with this clown as a member.
my parents live 16 hours away in florida. i do the drive almost twice a year because i cannot stand the airports and airlines making everything as hard as it can possibly be.
Hey Senator Hawley good talk. Pass a bill that removes "Private Corporations" from being granted equal "Private rights" of a living human being. Piercing the corporate veil.
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.
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.
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.
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!
This is great grilling, but the issue lies with the grillers not the grilled. 7.5% excise tax, security fee, passenger facility tax, international tax ($200 per ticket), travel facilites tax, ariport mags up to 15% of the airlines GROSS, and on and on and on. They have taxed these airlines into bankruptcy and then yell at them.
Exactly. It's the congress who made all these taxes on the base air fare but makes all of the extra fees TAX FREE because they are optional. What's the incentive to roll it all into one price when the government is going to take a bigger cut?
Back in February I had met a former Fronteri Airlines employee. She told me there was a class action lawsuit because ifemployees took a sudden day off of work, like if they were sick, they were told they were not entitled to their commissions for that month made from hunting down people with bags too big. She told me some of these employees were making a couple thousand bucks a month on these commissions.
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
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
Unpopular opinion but this is the business model of these companies. They shouldn't apologize to anyone! We know what we sign up for when we use their flights. Fly with someone else if you don't like it.
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 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.
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.
just absolutely astronomical. and this exact same conversation needs to happen in every single industry but for some odd reason we’re not having those yet. truly, i wonder when if not now.
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.
Thank you Senator Hawley. I experienced the same thing with spirit last year flying to Vegas. I paid $75 for a carry-on and my girlfriend flying with me with the exact same size carry-on she paid $50. We experienced the same thing with our tickets. My ticket was $125 more than hers so I ended up paying her. She ordered me a ticket at her price.
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!
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.
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.

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.
Has there ever been anyone, for any reason, at any congressional hearing, who answered any question, with any clarity, with any directness, without any vagueness, ever? Ever?
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 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.
