If you don't want to deal with scamming airlines, TSA, fakkit fight attendants, then come to Amtrak Row

I wish a train could get me from the Northeast to the deep south in less than 3hrs

I mean if we invested in high speed rail maybe?

We're basically paying for the airlines two times with our tax dollars to bail them out and then their stupid rates to fly. Its absurd that air travel can't be considered a public good or at least regulated more like it was in the past.

If you're skilled and knowledgeable enough to not only run a top airline, but keep it running quarterly profit, you should be in high-demand in any c-suite, working for any company around the world.

I'd love to see you be responsible for getting just one plane off the ground.

I hate corporation bootlickers. What do you gain from sucking off this major amoral businesses?

Tickets are cheap as hell now. Not sure why you saying prices are outrageous.


Also how damn hard is it to just sit yo ass down and watch a movie. I gotta look sideways at people who help all the damn time just to ride somewhere. Sit yo ass down and listen to some music.


the difficulty goes up exponentially for a 16 hour flight :whoa:

I wish there was as much innovation in the airline industry as there is in the car industry.
There is an insane amount of inovation, just not for passengers. Ive been a UAL share holder for a fewyears now and from time to time, we get updates on R&D and speculative investments the company is making.


Off the top my head, UAL specifically is working on
  • Electric air planes
  • Vertical lift airplnes
  • Planes that run on biodiesel/canola oil
  • Super sonic airplanes through a subsidiary company called "boom"
  • Normalizing in-flight showers
  • And staff automation

of all these innovations , the super sonic stuff excites me the most. Currently airlines stay just beneath the sound barrier(which varies with temp or altitude). 300mph-550mph. Now imagine if we could double that or even increase that speed by 1.5X safely and quietly. :patrice:



That would turn a 5hr flight from NYC to LA into a 2.5-3.5hr flight. A trip to australia from LA, like our brehs @International Koala and @Sukairain got to deal with, is currently an ungodly 15-18hrs. United is currently working on doing that in only 8hours, breh:wow:

All this criticism.

It's easy to under estimate the amount of intelligence and skill it takes to keep everything running properly.

Again, if you know a better way, people will fukking turnover the earth to recruit you.
