I think AA’s issues are like most airlines: greed.
Their folks are friendly. I’ve never had a rep that I was pissed at, whether it was in the plane or at a counter. In fact, I’d say their folks go well above others I’ve ridden with (I’m looking at you Frontier).
I do, however, wish airlines didn’t think the median size if a person is 5’9" weighing in at a buck fifty. They stuff us on top of each other and make sure they maximize revenue by barely having enough planes to cover routes, so they’re always packed.
“Oh, but you can fly first class!” Nah, screw that. Give me a plane with no first class seats and enough leg room so I can move my legs a bit and we can all lean back just 2 more solid inches. The stress levels for everyone would magically improve, packed plane or not.
I’ll start by saying I agree with all your points. And I wasn’t able to find info about the median height, but the average height of American men is actually 5’9. Which including women would bring it down quite a bit. That said, as a 5’7 shorty, I hate the small space in seats. Based on your post I’m guessing your height is around 6’2" (I must know if I’m close!), so you truly have my sympathy sitting in those sardine can aluminum tubes.
Lol, that’s funny that it really is 5’9." It sure doesn’t seem like it when we’re all on it.
Yes, you’re pretty close. It’s annoying to me and if there were comfortable high speed trains available, I’d likely take more time so I could be less stressed by the entire experience.
Amazon is super evil, but it mostly comes from the way they treat their employees and sellers. The customer service is… okayish, mostly. They certainly have problems there as well, but it’s not the real issue.
Air Canada should be top 5 imo. I want my three nights in an expinse hotel (the only one with available rooms, at that) reimbursed, goddammit, I don’t care if it was out of your control due to “weather” on the nice, sunny day that my wife was having at my destination.
I find a spinning top is a good analogy for the system. When it starts out initially, it operates fairly smoothly. Then problem start to accumulate over time, and it develops a wobble, and it just keep getting worse until the whole thing comes crashing down. We might be living through the end period now where the cumulative problems are just too great for a recovery to happen. Each time an economic crash happens, majority of the population is pushed to thinner margins because they are forced to use up their savings, let go of assets, and so on, to get through it. Meanwhile, people at the top see crashes as a Black Fridays where they can swoop in and buy up the assets for pennies on the dollar. Thus, each crash acts as a wealth transfer to the top. When the system recovers, the working majority ends up on thinner margins than before and in a worse position to weather the next crash. Eventually, things get to the point where most people simply can’t make it through the crash, and the spinning top falls over.
You got to clean it up. Took 5-7 years. Person that dropped the pot had that pot insured specifically because they were going to drop it and they had a second one, possibly larger, and just kept on walking.
