If I was next to her and knew about this post, my introverted self would suddenly be the most chatty asshole to ever fly.
… Am I the only one who doesn’t have a problem calling it “peasant class”? It’s the kind of slang I’d use and I always fly economy.
I joke about calling it steerage. Just keep walking back until you hear the Irish fiddles.
That’s our word, she can’t use it
Exactly haha. A poor person can say it to joke about themselves and their circumstances, a rich person doing so is just in poor taste…
Tbf calling it peasant class is more honest. The new planes economy sections must have been designed by the same people who designed cattle cars.
Temple Grandin has done a significant amount of work on designing animal handling facilities for minimal stress and ease of flow.
We would be so lucky if she turned her skills towards airlines.
Knowing Boeing, there would be a boltgun waiting for you at the exit.
Yeah but it wouldn’t work anyway
I just got off of a flight, it was about 40 minutes in the air, and there were people who paid to upgrade to ‘first class’ for a 40 minute flight.
I’d rather be peasant class than so weak that I couldn’t stand 40 minutes sitting 6 inches closer to the person next to me.
How do you know they paid? When I was a frequent flier I’d always get upgraded on short flights because… No one paid for first class on those flights but the airline could consume an upgrade.
