"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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.....
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.
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
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!
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.
Flights used to always be one checked bag and one carry on bag. All of the airlines have squeezed us tighter and tighter on the luggage I have been pricing tickets for a planned trip. To get to carry one checked baggage on just about all of them it brought an already very expensive ticket up by 200 more dollars. I totally see people taking advantage of the carryon luggage sizing. But it has also gotten stupid. If an airline says it allows a certain size of baggage as carryon, then that’s what they need to allow. And knowing some of them are soft sided, some be luggage is rigid, should not make a difference. I heard a flight attendant on a flight I did about a year ago telling a man he should have used soft sided luggage to put into overhead bin. That it was inconsiderate to use rigid luggage inside plane. She wanted him to check his bag because they ran out of space. One of the other passengers offered to take her luggage down as it would fit under the seat and then the man’s bag would fit, but the stewardess declined, said her luggage was fine where it was and made the man’s bag check his bag.
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 ?
There are certain airlines that I will not fly again unless it were an emergency. Personnel have been insulting to me for no obvious reason. And the one airline that I still like is under scrutiny by the feds. Why? Probably because this airline - Southwest - appreciates its customers and treats them right. I appreciate that the airline personnel execs are being examined for their policies.
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
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.
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!
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.
Maybe!!!!! supreme Court needs a new ruling.customer getting everything . employees gets everything the product gets everything . doesn't break second warranty over
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
hawley is the absolute beast of all beasts!!!!!
Yet all MSNBC could say about him during the commotion caused by a democrat pulling the fire alarm was that “He ran like a girl” ! SMH

And to pay the bounty
Spirit, is in bankruptcy.
No bailouts for these airlines let them fail.
No bailouts for ANYONE! Free market economy, FULL STOP! Survival of the fittest!
If we could get together and just decide to say boycott these airlines for 3 days they would change
This guy Josh is gaining popularity with this one 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

That bounty answer explains why they were hunting over the size limit bags on my Frontier flight.
This is a perfect example on why I wont fly Spirit Airlines or Frontier Airlines! Garbage customer service!
This is why I'd rather spend 2 days driving to Florida instead of flying. The airlines and airports have turned into shit

I love how these moneylovers call the victimised public "guests". I would never treat guests with such indifference.
The next time the Airlines want a bail out, the answer should be nope.

You see they pay millions to writers on SNL for skits. They could save a bundle just by replaying Sen. Hawley's committee hearings.
The Hawley line of questioning was stellar. His result: "King Me", and I aint talikin' Budweiser either.
Now I know spirit and frontier I will NEVER fly !!!

Best prices to the best people! Sucks when the truth slips out 😂
I used to work for an airline. It's a miracle they get off the ground. They put "fun" in dysFUNctional.

But they can afford millions to pay for hassling their customers while they will watch their bottom line for investors. Who are those investors?
Best People 😂 Means = Those with Suits and Ties
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.
how about everyone in the same class of seats pays the same amount.

I've never flown Frontier, and flew on Spirit once. I have now been cured.
