American Airlines passenger sued by FAA after being duct taped to seat - Lemmy.World

Airplanes need to start having a “brig” like boats. This taping people down is silly.

Around 30 years ago, American Airlines realized that by removing a single olive from every passenger’s salad, they would save what amounts today to about $100,000 annually due to reduced weight. They did that.

Do you think they’re going to remove seats and install a brig, or are they just going to make sure every flight has a half a roll of duct tape?

Nah the savings came from reduced olives. Olives are expensive, it costs more to buy an olive than to fly it on a plane.
So when you buy a ticket you’re really paying for the olives on the salad, and the flight is just a bonus on the side?
Statistically, yes exactly.
They should remove those magazines that always litters the seat pockets. Must weigh a ton per flight.
Pretty sure they have… I haven’t seen a full skymall in ages. I think they still have the much smaller one advertising their own services
They will soon realise a quarter roll of duct tape is good enough and save millions again.

needs to duct tape two passengers

the plane just fuckin explodes

They removed the olive because olives are gross.
