minus-square@egerlach@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish2•4 days agoWhile that’s true, and so First Class and Business Class subsidize private jets more than Economy Class does, that doesn’t change the fact that Economy also subsidizes private jets.

minus-square@doingthestuff@lemy.lollinkfedilinkEnglish1•3 days agoYeah I flew for $20 not too long ago. No bags, just a small backpack. I wasn’t subsidizing shit, more expensive seats were subsidizing me.
minus-square@yermaw@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish1•3 days agoTheyee probably right. We’d need to work out how much money their tickets are vs how much space they take up and compare that ratio to economy.
minus-squaresunzu2linkfedilink1•3 days agoThat’s a weird way to look at it. If they make so much money, why aren’t there planes just business class? Think of all the profit! Also, tickets are priced based on max price people will pay, not if the rich people are flying. They might be more profitable for the airline… Sure. But it doesn’t subsidize the plebs lol
