    Frankly I’m trying to figure out how a system that even allows for luggage to be lost without any accountability is allowed to exist in two thousand twenty fucking three

      Lobbying is easy: “we’ll give you free first class flights if you don’t pass any laws against us”

      Cause somehow we’ve been convinced that if something somehow works once, in one specific scenario - then it must in its entirety be ok for all eternity

      (as long as it makes money of course lol)

      Easy: doing so would cost too much money, for not enough profit gain.

      Aka, there isn’t enough competition between airlines

        This is a pile of horseshit right here.

        Service in airlines was at its absolute worst when competition was at its tightest. It’s shit now, yes, but during the height of deregulation and “innovations” like the cattle car airlines it was far, far, far worse.
