Unions work. This is awesome.
Ohh no I now won't be able to fly because daddy gonna raise prices to the maximum
Rhreeeeee muhh freedom got hurt!
- I mean if they need to raise the prices to pay a fair wage and fewer people can fly, so be it. They're not running a charity and these aren't volunteers we're talking about. They're people working full time jobs to support themselves.
  
  Airlines are directly subsidized by the taxpayer since at least 911... Remember covid?
  They should not be earning any profit and they should be paying fair wages.
  Their execs need to get the rope while we are on topic of their crimes.

This is surely related to SWA thinking about changing to seat assignments and adding a first class cabin.
Suckwest now sucks slightly less.
- I believe it was earned not won.
