My wife worked at a place where creditors sent a representative in to do an audit of everything saleable in the office at one point: desks, chairs, computers, phones, plants, wall art, coffee makers, etc. The boss said it was no big deal, and they only missed paychecks like two more times after that (before she quit).

Had a friend of the family work for a developer like this. The third week they didn't pay the landscapers ended with them just quitting and taking a bunch of equipment as collateral until they got paid. Last I heard they never got paid and a bunch of them just started a new lawn care company with the stolen equipment. As much shady poo poo as the boss did he probably figured it was a fair trade to keep anyone from looking to close at his business affairs. For some reason she continued to work there for several months.

They were till Reagan happened E: in the sense that they were really strictly regulated to the point that they might as well have been nationalized. They were also subsidized iirc

The crew scheduling system knows where the crew is at all times. It knows this because it knows where the crew isn't. By subtracting where the crew is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation.

That would also mean the scheduling system can use those deviations to generate corrective flights to fly the crews from a position where they are to a position where they aren't, and arriving at a position where they weren't, but now are.

All-time low airfares are a result of intense competition. Nationalizing the airlines might fix some issues but everyone will pay out their rear end in taxes and fares for it. People really don’t know what they’ve got until they lose it.

People really don’t know what they’ve got until they lose it. On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, we have normalized cramming everything you can into a carry on bag so that you don't have to double your nominal ticket price with bag check fees. That and things like "we actually know how to deplane more efficiently, but people will pay more to sit closer to the exit to leave faster, so we're ok with making everything less efficient, actually" and "unions for flight attendants are for nerds and losers, you could spend that on an xbox instead" and "pweese mr government gib us moneys becawse we spent all of ours on stock buybacks instead of having any mawgin for error, no we can't let the investors actually take anything on the chin for it" Plus, we already pay out the rear end in taxes and fees.

the basic problem is that the fundamental nature of reality dictates that transportation is a commodity. this is why it's just this continual 150-year history of fuckery with the railroads for example, because you can't differentiate the product and make a reliable profit for this service. when they nationalize the shareholders will frankly be glad of it - airline poo poo and train poo poo is frankly the mechanism of how warren buffet decisively reverted to the mean the last 20 years for example

Air travel’s margins can be pretty shaky, just because making planes fly and not crash is pretty expensive- like I don’t doubt the executives make plenty but you see airlines go under more often than other companies. Maybe it’s just not suited to be private business.

A state-owned enterprise doesn't have shareholders who need to be constantly appeased by wringing more blood from the stone. Also that's, uh... 'We can't have public goods because our ruling class is devoted to actively sabotaging them and claiming it's inherent to the system' isn't exactly a great argument dude even if it's true

State-owned enterprises have a balance sheet like any other congresscritters actually fly on normal passenger airliners. this is why nationalized airlines tend to be less hosed than other nationalized forms of transit

You can't effectively regulate other methods of parcel travel or ground transportation, you absolutely can regulate air travel, and we already do. Fly a drone out of your line of sight and see if the FAA thinks kindly on you.

People really don’t know what they’ve got until they lose it. Yeah, air travel used to be something only rich people did. Deregulating the airlines is a huge reason why now most Americans can afford to fly. Vegetable posted:Do you think those aggressive practices go away with nationalization?

Also, the popular goon belief that nationalization is like a cheat code to solve every economic problem totally contradicts the other popular goon belief w.r.t. American governance, which is that the US government is largely stupid and corrupt. I don’t understand how a group of people who are so cynical and negative about our system of government can have such an unshakable conviction that giving it even more control over society will solve every problem known to man.

Basic things could still be done: for instance the government could set a minimum width and pitch for aircraft seats, forbid the airlines from charging fees for bags, or improve the refund rules.

Air travel is basically gambling at this point. I’ll only do it with company money. No way I’m putting up my money for it.
