    Airlines make record profits every year, and are run on razor thin margins. The wildest thing is that the flights themselves are a loss leader for the insanely profitable travel points scam they’ve been running since the 60s.

    Stop extracting 80% of the profits for the investment class from the tourism industry and paying the pilots triple their current wages would be simple.

    Never believe a corporation when they complain about labor costs. It’s always a lie

      not that simple. stop extracting profits, then no one wants ownership of the company anymore.
