Never fly Delta.
Problem is, they're all going to do it at some point. Its clear this type of shit is becoming the norm with every. single. corporation.
Just like charging for luggage. Fuckers
But if we all abandon Delta and they get screwed, it'll restore some much-deserved fear to the other airlines.
Except you’re part of the tiny minority that saw this and even tinier minority that cares. You’re not even a rounding error.
It won't. First and best thing you can do is cancel any credit card you have with them. But people are suckers for those bonuses. Rember, Delta and all of the big US airlines are bigger banks now than actual airlines.
Oh, I agree, boycott, protest, etc as much as possible. I was just stating how shitty all of them are getting more and more.
So you are saying we should reject consumerism? Agreed.
that's fine, I'll just stop flying. plenty for me to do that doesn't require it.
For as long as airlines have existed they have all used any data they have to find the most they can get each customer to pay, they already do it based on things like what day of the week your flight is, the time of day you buy your ticket, etc. if ai can help with this every airline is going to use it.
Understood.
Never fly Delta.
