...driving OR flying!

...would save "about 6,000 minutes of travel time a year..." - is this 16.4 minutes a day per flight or a total per day for all flights?

“People need to be free to make their own choices" - what choice did she not feel was free at the time she signed? When you sign a document, you should have FULLY UNDERSTOOD what you were signing up for. Economies change from year to year and sometimes, day to day. I've never understood people who sign something then complain about it later when it no longer satisfies them. Get one of those "better paying jobs", pay the training fee back, stop whining and get on with life. Chalk it up to another life lesson learned.

"The federal Department of Transportation on Monday said it would investigate the meltdown"....the Feds can't control their own meltdowns - why would they think they could solve this? The free market will make it's own adjustment (loss of passengers) in good time. If the Feds get involved - it will be a mess. Slaps on the wrist from the Feds usually involve a monetary fine of some sort - but where does the money go and how does it stop/reduce these mishaps? Just more money for the Feds to waste with no measurable results

safety first - no matter what the seat size - how quickly can pax escape the a/c in regulation time? Safety is what the FAA has been in charge of. comfort second - with todays society getting larger/heavier from previous generations, airlines should take this into consideration when developing their seat pitch and width. third - affordability - what the general public wants (ie. LCC) requires that the airlines put as many seats as safely as possible in to the a/c - thus spreading costs over more pax per plane and keeping fares low. With less, more comfortable seats - prices will have to go up to cover costs (salaries, fuel, etc.). Comfort vs price - which is more important? With the uptick in LCC's and their successes - it seems today that a lot of travelers choose price over comfort. I choose comfort when flying and I have to pay for it - will everyone else? It's a choice we all have to make.

of course not - that would make too much sense. there will be no opportunity to defend yourself if falsely accused. it's cancel culture - nothing else. there have been unruly employees AND pax for years not displaying "basic civility" however that will be arbitrarily defined by some yahoo at HQ. Don't know how this is going to solve anything.
