The LEAST Popular Airline Decision…EVER!
NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 05: Planes sit on the runway at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on June 5, 2017 in New York City. Part of what the White House is calling the president's "infrastructure week," President Donald Trump announced Monday a plan to privatize the nation's air traffic control system. If enacted, it would remove the job of tracking and guiding airplanes from the oversight of the Federal Aviation Administration.
OMG…what was once just an hilarious bit from comedian, James Gregory (5:52 into the video below), could now become a reality with commercial plane travel.
That’s right, in an effort to “cut costs and carbon emissions,” airlines could one day start weighing passengers before they board the airplane.
According to experts, with more exact figures (in terms of fuel requirements), the airlines could save as much as $1.35 billion worldwide, as well as reduce its carbon footprint.
Can you imagine the joy every woman will have at the thought of not only having to be molested at TSA, but now being told to step on a scale?
Who wants THAT job?
