My flight from Chicago to Houston cost $68. At check-in, Southwest Airlines helpfully offered me an upgrade to priority boarding for just $298. What a bargain!

Yes, I know why this is, but that doesn't make it any less stupid.

Thing nobody at an airline asks anymore:

“Smoking or non-smoking?”

The big airlines want taxpayers to bail them out because of the impact of COVID-19.

Maybe we should learn a lesson from the big banking bailouts of last decade, and add some conditions to this bailout. Like requiring better service and facilities, instead of just allowing megacorps to blow billions on self-serving stock buybacks.

I can go two ways with this:

1. The chairman is apologizing because Asiana flights lack suicide?
2. The chairman of Asiana Airlines is apologizing for providing the same level of service that American airlines provide.
