No one forced this loser to fly. Why are democrats always trying to force others to comply instead of taking personal responsibility?

I don't like crowds so I don't go to stores during peak hours. I don't piss and moan and try to get the store to limit the number of customers. Democrats are entitled jackasses.

Anything else but flight is out of the question. Not practical. Amtrak would take 22 hours.

So why not answer the overarching question?

I say ban all middle seats.

Why not just buy two seats if you’re worried.

I say ban stupidity but there are too many of you, it'd be hard to enforce.

So how about we start with just getting our economy back and stop all the hysteria over a "global pandemic" that is less deadly and less common than a fricking cold...

I’m sure if airlines are forced to remove the middle seat they absolutely won’t pass off the lost revenue by increasing airfares on window and aisle seats.


Seriously if you are a giant vagina just don’t fly.

Airlines will be fine with taking out the middles seats.

Now that cheap ticket?
Just doubled or tripled in price so the airline can make up for fewer passengers while still paying out for fuel, personnel, etc., as if the middle seat was still there.

Oh and sorry, you'll have to wait till next Wednesday to book another flight since less seating = more flights are full and those others were in line 1st. Maybe check that other airline across the complex, but we will not hold your spot so when you get back the next available seat will be 2 weeks away.

I say frick you and that.

(Picking your seat doesn't help, took that out, but the frick you stands).

Hey, you cannot do something you want to do, fly without someone next to you. Welcome to the God damned club.

Costs will go up significantly if they do this. And it will be harder to book flights until more planes are bought to meet demand

True.
And the ratio of fuel spent per passenger will go up too. Guess he doesn’t really care about global warming.

Hmmm, I wasn't aware that American Airlines was a church.

And then watch how many flights occur. Just because you want it doesn’t make it economical, and if it doesn’t make financial sense to do so it’s not gonna happen. So you don’t have a middle seat, but now you also don’t have a flight. Enjoy Amtrack.

While I am no fan of the airlines, does this idiot not understand the concept of selling a seat... If you want more room, fly first class and if you want even more, purchase the seat next to you as well...

Oh, and the airlines should be able to make people that take up two seats purchase two seats...
