Are you saying this is Trumps fault? Because if it's Trumps fault Juan Trippe and Howard Hughes would like a meeting with POTUS asap about reparations. Trying to blame Trump for the low cost carriers failing seems ignorant. It's their own damn fault and their demise might lift all of the other carriers boats. I feel bad for their employees but that doesn't excuse the airlines themselves. When navigating the terminal as a customer and avoiding those gates is normal something is wrong. I don't think I've ever seen a fight at a Delta counter.
Yes, I am blaming him. No one has time to be analytical with an airline's low cost business model and how it could backfire if situation A or B were to happen. Fuel cost is always at the forefront and it seems that the airlines are somewhat prepared when the cost of fuel gets high but I doubt they have a procedure for when an idiot leader starts an unnecessary war with the country that basically controls the flow of oil shipments then continues to play games with them. Pay up POTUS.
Why do the taxpayers need to bail out the airlines even if it is Trump's fault. What about my small business that has to pay 30% more in fuel? What about the small 135 outfit on the local field that is losing money over this? What about my personal life that I have to pay more in fuel? Why do the individuals (tax payers) have to pay the big guys?
And how effective is your anger? Does it accomplish anything or is it wasted energy? You're not angry, you shout because you feel satiated after voicing dissatisfaction but it accomplishes nothing. Or you work for one of the bottom three and you haven't heard back from a major airline. If a low cost carrier is operating on margins so thin that a rise in the cost of fuel literally puts them out of business after a month they're not running a solid business plan. Why isn't Delta asking for a handout?
first time doing late stage Capitalism huh?
Juan and Howard lived in a regulated airline environment and are not eligible.
This is the dumbest thing the US has ever done? Are you being serious?
I'm being Wacofan. Throw up your list of stupid things you feel exceed it.
It's a long list, some of it is military and some is societal. I'm not under some delusion that the US is infallible, in 250 years we might've stepped on our own phallus more than countries 10 times as old as us. I'm not a blind patriot, but I do think this is the best country to live in. You can disagree and that's okay.
Who exactly wants socialism? Is that what you want? Are you brave enough to stand up and say it? Are you willing to give up even more of your income and your quality of life for the greater good?
