It’s wild how air travel keeps getting more chaotic, and yet airlines still cut corners on safety and staffing to maximize profits. Maybe if workers were paid better and flights weren’t so overbooked, we wouldn’t have so many frustrated passengers lashing out. Instead of focusing on squeezing every dollar out of travelers, airlines should invest in safer planes and better working conditions for their employees.
This is exactly what happens when airlines are bogged down by government regulations instead of being allowed to operate with real competition and accountability. If airlines weren’t forced to jump through bureaucratic hoops, they could focus on safety and customer service instead of complying with endless red tape. And let’s be real—airlines should have the right to refuse service to violent passengers without worrying about lawsuits or government interference. Let the free market sort it out, and you’d see better airlines and fewer disasters.
