Any one who flies on a packed airline is a fucking idiot. [View all]

That is actually happening. How in the hell do people think this virus spread around the world in days. People don't understand our world, our way have life has changed. Airlines are fucked, that's the truth. Find another way to travel, to do business, because that is now reality.

Maybe, airlines could fly at 25% capacity, which would keep people separated. But airlines would lose money doing it. People would have to pay a lot more for tickets in order for the airlines to turn a profit.
