That’s Ryanair the low cost airline. They treat their customers like cattle and their employees no better. But you can fly internationally with them for cheaper than a regional bus ticket. And apparently is a good way to get your foot in the door of the flight industry.

Apparently what happened was the affiliates hotels were full and Ryanair were too cheap to pay for non-affiliated hotel.

Absolute poo poo tier airline. They advertise really low fares but thats because they nickle and dime the poo poo out of you on all kind of fees and services later. They aren't the worst, as I recall some airline from Mexico wants to do away with seats completely and have passengers stand the entire flight like its a subway... which I think would make turbulence or a bumpy landing hilarious if you ask me.

vivaaerobus, where buying a ticket is like navigating a minefield of terrible, terrible "upgrades"

and they used to be even worse, they would way oversell planes and then tell anyone who shows up after the plane is full that they were too late and now their hosed

honestly im surprised there isnt an equivalent in the us already

That's require a backboard or something which would probably take up a bunch of space.

Just some straps like subways and maybe a space for the not yet cripples to park their chair.

I see, if all US pilots went on strike then US military pilots would be brought in to fly the planes. Now that I think about it, any strike can ultimately be defeated by having military personnel do the work of the striking workers. And if the military goes on the strike, well the capitalists really hosed up then.

I can't even fully stand up in the seating area, are you assuming the overhead luggage goes away in this scenario/it's all as high as the aisles? Because I'm almost certain that'd be 3 hours of you hunching over.

in Europe if your plane is later than 3 hours you get €250-400 compensation

in the US you’re lucky not to get beaten unconscious by the flight security

That compensation is per person. I know someone who’s flight back from a family holiday was delayed. 2 parents and 3 children at 300 each. It basically covered the cost of the holiday.

For the faults of the EU it does a lot of regulation right.

And if the cops go on strike they get replaced with under-funded but better trained violent douchebags, but still less likely to shoot an unarmed black dude?
