But bach has a point. The first class lounge is far more civilized than the waiting area at gate 15B

[Mik]

And that goes back to steamship travel.

[Axtremus]

Jack up the ticket prices and passengers will be more civilized, right?

[Mik]

Already tried that. Didn't work.

[Axtremus]

Bigger seats, then. As posited in the opening post:

Civility is easier when there is more space between you and the other passengers.

That's what I noticed in the video when they show air travel in the old days.

Maybe that will be the big driver for Trump's second term.

Civility is good. Civility is easier when there is more space between you and the other passengers.

Does anyone miss Mayor Sec. Trans. Pete?

I don’t think he was Trans, just gay.

He’s not wrong but yeah hard to imagine this YouTube video turning things around.

It’s not like there aren’t thousands of PSAs out there. I’m sure Pete Buttgeigh made similar pointless PSAs, but they weren’t focused on title hammered on like anything from this administration.

I searched for "pete buttigieg transportation PSA" on YouTube and found no such PSA. Maybe you can find one; please post here if/when you do. Thanks.

[LuFins Dad]

Well no wonder.. You misspelled it.

This fits in this thread about the democratization of air travel.

My anecdote, I got my first passport at 21. My son got his first at 4 months.

I like the Covid dip. Looks like the Hillary step on Everest.

[jon-nyc]

I’m curious what it looked like from 1960-1990. Obviously it didn’t have a slope like that.

[jon-nyc]

That steep slope in the 2005-10 era was when Americans started to need a passport to travel to US, Mexico, and the Caribbean

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

So I’m supposed to wear a suit and also work out in the airport?

[Doctor Phibes]

A bunch of mf's who always fly first class or in private jets have decided they're going to improve our experience.

What about free alcohol, shit-for-brains?

I don't think that is the solution.
