The next step, autonomous vehicles, will completely eliminate human taxi drivers, be it Yellow Cab or (as you half assert) Uber.
Countless pax? That's hilarious! Do they tell you that on the jetway while they're waiting for their rollaboard?
Final suggestion: ask one of the bean counters at your regional what will happen to your precious RJs if Essential Air Service is eliminated. The Trump administration is pushing to eliminate that subsidy. They didn't get it eliminated in 2017 but I'm sure they'll push for with every new budget.
You really are clueless if you believe a middle seat on a 737 in the back of the a/c is more comfortable. I never had to check a rollaboard either. If you do, you will get your bag on the jetway and be off the a/c much quicker than in the back of a 737, I promise!
Trump can eliminate EAS. Trump was smart to welcome Norwegian Air to compete against mainline too! Your precious international flying is at risk.
