they’re either scamming customers, union-busting their employees, or i guess targeting their whistleblowers?
BUT most of my pleasant flying experiences have been with delta - intl and domestic. i usually fly with them esp as i’m now building up points. though their tiered upgrade system is absolutely ridiculous, ends up being $60-200 more than listed price for being able to get a refund. the flight attendants are all really nice and currently unionizing! baggage situation isn’t the worst.
jetblue extra charges and baggage fees are ridiculous, but i like that they sometimes have smaller planes available (when you book it lets you see the type) so less people to be around if you book for a 2 seater row.
i can’t speak to most of the in-flight aspects of either though because when i get on a plane as soon as they start taking off i fall asleep and sleep through the entire thing. like literally every single time, no matter where, when, or how long

...I fly mostly East-Asian and Middle-Eastern airlines which are THE BEST it gets in service, imo. Aftercare/customer service can be a hit or miss though (like if they lose your luggage, or flights are mixed up or delayed or whatever).

You can take your time getting to the airport and you don’t have to wake up early. City views are prettier at night and everyone on the plane is tired and quiet which is calming. Some airlines also have nice lighting at night like JetBlue which has blueish purple lights along the aisle. Idk if they have those on every one of their planes but last time I flew I really enjoyed the vibe

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
