More to consider when selecting an airline. Greedy fuckers, I hope their stock takes a nosedive thanks to this
It'll probably take a small dip and then rise quite a bit once profits from implementing it start rolling in
And if it succesful, or at least passenger doesn't boycott them over it, it is just a question of time until other airlines adds it as well
Part of the problem is that UA is such a massive airline, odds are any alternatives would involve quite a bit of sacrifice. Not many people would be willing or can afford to take an extra 2 layovers or 50%+ extra travel time or cost in order to get to where they want to go 🫤 That's not to say I won't try my best to avoid UA though, I was already sick of them after my last trip and now I find this news.
