US airlines are pushing to remove protections for passengers and add more fees

> Instead of the clear, itemized pricing system that passengers currently rely on, airlines could hide fees until later in the booking process…

They call what we have now “clear”? Where when looking at a page of flights I don’t know how much the multitude of economy/economy+/economy++/premium economy/business/business++ seats will cost until I click on each flight? Where every carrier offers slightly different variations of these seats such that I can’t cross-shop on Google Flights?

Is that the clear and transparent system the airlines are complaining about?

yeah, now imagine when its even worse

I’ve seen the movie Brazil and I wish more people had so they would have voted better.

Don't forget the inverse can happen, like when tech-bros read sci-fi and end up thinking Bad Thing is a good idea... :|

I love/hate how many people in tech watched Black Mirror and went "that's a great idea! I'll build that"
