While the overall idea is nice for our careers, their arguments are totally inaccurate and hard to get behind. Inexperience causes delays? Less legroom? Have they compared a United 737 to a 170? I’d take the 170 any day.
They’re arguing something but using false information just kills the purpose and validity.

It’s about time an official public movement is started.

From someone who has actually seen slaves (in Mauritania), I really find it offensive when people who have no idea what a slave actually is throwing that term around.

The entire concept is silly. 777’s on every leg with business class. 🤔
On some runs it makes Senn’s. You actually see wide-body airframes on ATL-MCO at times and they are full. But if you want to get from DFW-LAW it’s either on a smaller airframe or you’re driving. Or Greyhound.

That wasn't policy, just passive resistance on my part.

Yes. Yes, that’s how businesses essentially function.

You’re totally missing the big picture. It’s not about the size of aircraft.

This is nothing new.
Slave labor? GMAFB.
