When is ALPA going to endorse the presidential candidate who has been most outspoken about support for the airline sector? I’d bet good money they don’t.

Their official endorsement of the other candidate in the ‘16 election is the reason why the ALPA PAC will not see a dime of my money ever again.

Open the planes up, and if people choose to fly, let them do it.
That'll require far fewer pilots and reduce the premium passengers currently pay to fly Delta instead of some cheaper options without spacing. No thanks.

This must be either a joke or trolling.

Yeah and we’ve not been at 10% capacity for several months.

Yes it’s comical this whole seat blocking theory. NO the problem isn’t a lack of seats as you seem to allude to. We can block the middle seats because there is nobody to sit in them anyway. We also have 250 planes parked that we can fly again if people actually come back and we still want those seats blocked. Real problem is governments not allowing people freedom to choose for themselves.

Not to mention the De Blasio or Cuomo who have forced all of NY to hide in Joe Biden’s basement.

Send me your address slick. I’ll send you a jumbo roll of tin foil. I’m sure you could use a fresh supply. It gets pretty ratty after reusing it for those hats and Faraday bags for your cell phone. Did you rip all your electrical lines out of your house yet?

You know... because they’re watching you.

Not to mention the corporate caution and liability. Large companies haven’t even opened up their offices yet. Baby steps, travel is a distant goal. Just look at the Delta offices.

You evidentially haven't been flying much lately. I haven't seen many "premium passengers" at all, it is just the opposite.
