Given that I just read this comment after getting off a connecting flight that had me waiting on a fully boarded plane in 100 degree Phoenix weather for half an hour, it’s pretty poignant. I read an article earlier today about how Phoenix may not be inhabitable in twenty years, and I’m here to tell you that it’s already insufferable no matter how well the A/C was or was not working on that plane.

I don’t need a plane that flies faster. I need an airline that puts pure service before profit.

There is no profit, which is why their is no service. The average profit margin is 4% on flying.

At this point, airlines make most of their actual profit from credit cards.

I forget who said it, but "airlines are banks that happen to fly planes" is true, at least profit wise.

Good news, airlines already barely profit:
