There is a new Thief errrr Chief executive officer in town.
“Still, I am not going to applaud United for making this move. If oversold premium cabins or oversold airplanes are so rare, even before COVID-19, then why bother to make the change?”
Exactly. Using this as an excuse to make long-term changes to their policies to put them in a better position to screw people over (or beat the hell out of them, a la 2017) after all of this is done is precisely why we all hate that these airlines are getting bailed out yet again. If the government is going to foot the bill for economic reasons (as they arguably should) they should also be getting equity stakes and using those stakes to stop these anti-consumer moves from happening.
Screw that even. Put the company into bankruptcy, zero out the equity, hand it to the debt holders and THEN consider a bailout. Taxpayers shouldn’t be stuck owning equity in an overleveraged company. You want a bailout deal now? Go to Buffett. You want one when he refuses? Then we need better terms
Bankruptcy doesn’t destroy a company, it’s literal intent is to restructure the equity & debt so the company can survive. Why taxpayer funds need to inflate the pre-bankruptcy equity is beyond me…
Not disagreeing here, just hoping for a middle-ground solution that they might be (relatively) amicable to as well. They have a lot of pull, and like everything involving lobbyists there’s limits here. Again, in an ideal world I would absolutely agree with your approach. 100%.
I smell lawsuits.
I’m in for my .47¢ class action award.
I like your optimism.
