I just want to add on top of other replies, for people with that money that do want that kind of space, they would either hire or own a private jet.

    In addition to the other answers, there is a point where the space available to a passenger is adequate, and adding more wouldn't justify the additional cost to said passenger. I'm sure airlines have done extensive research on how much space people are willing to pay a premium for.

    Please correct me, but with the CEO giving himself 50% voting power, how does the one person one vote thing work?

    Did this fuck head just gather a list of potential investors, not do the thing, and pivot over to a new company to sidestep what we all intended in the first place?

    This reads like that parent/teacher conference scene from Interstellar, and the quiz it gives adds to the dystopia:

    Gravity, which is 10, must be the only force acting upon first class passengers in airplanes while they are in possession of airline provided drinks/snacks. Upon receiving drinks or snacks from the air line, first class passengers must only be under the force of gravity, which is 10. The plane cannot push back from the gate as this would apply a force other than gravity, 10, to the first class passengers.

    Please take this simple quiz before the plane can push back from the gate:

    • What is gravity?
      • 10
      • One of the four fundamental forces
      • A movie starring Sandra Bullock
      • Among many of the forces first class passengers may be subjected to while consuming food or drinks provided by the airline before the aircraft may be moved from the gate.

    I weep for the children who are going to go through these AI generated tests where test revisions or hand grading is considered too expensive or not necessary, but at least preflight shots might become a thing for first class passengers.

    Not exactly caved but it’s progress; they’re getting an average of up to 2 days a week.

    During periods of hiring, it’s good to have social encounters, building networks and relationships. In-person office time does not necessarily mean that the social networks develop, it just means that the company is paying for 10m2 of floor space per employee.
