BS.
"We" didn't say, "We want to be treated like cattle as long as it's cheap." On the airlines that offer Economy Plus ( a little more space for a few more dollars) the seats are always sold out. (Let's not talk about my "economy plus" seat that was in front of the frikking door. It didn't have extra leg room because they provided it for me, it was the same seat in front of the door that they sold as coach untll they realized they could pass it off as "special" and charge more). I always travel "business class" when I can get it, but the seats are limited and on some regional flights there is no such thing. Airline employees exhibit such a level of obvious disinterest in their jobs that I worry that the jobs that aren't so obvious - those that involve safety - are being ignored to an equal extent. It is very concerning to me. U.S. airlines have lowered their standards to the point that I'm expecting a disaster any day. I just hope I'm not a part of it.
