They got a $15billion gov bailout in 2001, tax cuts last year, they have paid NO income tax, now they want $58 billion despite cutting expenses greatly. Stand up for leg room (at least 1 foot) and elbow room!

OP
Baggage fees, fees to choose you seat, ridiculous greedy fees - get rid of them!

We all need leg room. I dont know how tall people survive planes. I am not that tall and get all cramped up.

All the news today was particularly upsetting. It is such a mess.

That helps me the most.

Baggage fees eliminated, no charging obese for extra seats, and everyone with frequent flyer status gets to keep their same level thru 2021. I'd maybe require them to scrap the 737 Max.
I'm sure I can come up with a ton more ideas after I sleep on it.

Cattle class sucks. I fly about once every two years, and I save up frequent flyer miles from nonflying activity to be able to get first class seats that are actually the way airlines used to treat people fifty years ago.
