Reply #68: airlines support higher fuel taxes ... {on everybody else} [View All]

airlines support lower speed limits {on somebody else}
thats what I don't like

this is my opinion
airlines are destroying themselves finantialy,
spending every f****** penny the can find on imported fuel,
because they think that in doing so, they will be bigger than
the other airlines when fuel goes back to ten cents.

changing the subject just a little,
could somebody explain the decisions made by 'United'.

'United', I guess, is some rinky-dink three plane
unsceduled airline, with a market cap of 150 million.
I was reading somewhere that United claims it spent
700 million on a baggage system for Denver airport, or wherever.
why didn't they just hire some bums off the street, to throw bags?.
Pay em two bucks over minimum wage, that would make lots of friends.

to answer your question, no.
I have several friends that do/did work for airlines,
they are all nice people. It is the external behavior of management,
that I don't like.

I have nothing againt people who work in the hospitality trade,
they work hard for their money.
I just don't want the 99 percent of the country's jobs to
consist of, maids, cooks, and cab drivers,
like it is in countries operated like amusement parks.
Tourism is bad.

I know that there are lots of people who would like
to fly, if they could fly cross-country for 29 bucks, preferrably
less. United needs to pay attention.
