What an unfortunate article. Vastly more people can afford to travel now relative to the days when only the privileged few could enjoy incredibly inefficient 747 lounges. The airlines are not extraordinarily profitable over time, relative to other sectors. Yes, there are itemized fees and crowding -- but perhaps the airlines are simply responding to consumer willingness to endure a few hours of discomfort to save money. All the while, flying, in the US and elsewhere, is much safer than in was in 1978, and continues to improve.
And to even raise the pandemic...sheesh. So many industries were impacted and received subsidies. Blame whatever abuses may have occurred on Washington, where the shots were called.
