what the hell happened?

Ticket prices went WAY down after deregulation is what happened. I'd rather fly more than pay the old prices thanks. It's so cheap that even complete spurgs like you can fly across the continent. Something unheard of before.
9/11 happened.
Only way to protest - stop flying. Take the car or even train instead. If your job claims you should fly come back with serious fear of flying.
Everywhere else is a shithole compared to here, why would I want to go anywhere?
Does Canada have naked body scanners?
To supplement - put yourself on the 'do not fly' list.
Buy the cheapest tickets you can and pay the £30 to sit in the lounge for the four hours before. Drink as many beers as you want and eat as much as you want, its included in your £30, and then sleep on the plane.
CAPTAIN SUM TING WONG
uh and is that way
But in all seriousness it's because people have no fucking standards anymore and Airlines (especially US ones) care more about the bottom line.
Thankfully Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Qatar Airways, JAL, ANA, Cathay Pacific and Lufthansa (to some extent) remind us that flying wasn't always so shit
This is what happens when companies learn to milk every single cent from their customers
What if my job requires me to fly because the plane isn't going anywhere without me?
shouldn't you be more worried about how underpaid you are?
Do your best to sound like a trucker when you have to make announcements, and also fly manually and bank the plane around to show people on the left and on the right the local attractions when you're coming in for a landing as if it's a tour bus.
I always get nice food and drinks on coach nigger. Also who brings three bags? Just bring one
I don't use any form of transportation I don't personally own. My car is freedom. I can go where I want when I want, I take care of the mechanical upkeep myself so I know it's done right, I can stop as many times as I like on the way to my destination, I can pull over on a whim if I see something interesting, and I'll never be stuck some place I no longer want to be in because I'm waiting for the next bus/train/plane. I just hop in my car and fucking leave. Bugmen will never understand this feel.
I'm doing alright for my standard of living. I live a fairly minimalist life. And my wages will start to increase exponentially over the next couple of years. I'm only about to hit my second year at a regional.
>regional
godspeed user, lets hope the flowthrough works well
Fingers crossed. Wouldn't mind doing some bush flying in Alaska though
>what the hell happened?
You can find flights for 30 bucks, that's what happened, you idiot.
Booking websites happened.
If you can't offer the cheapest flight, you're out. So everyone offers a dirt cheap basic package and makes money on "extras" that once were part of a normal flight package.
Flights have become cheaper, nonetheless.
