Proper planning prevents piss poor performance.

You realize localized weather is not always predictable far enough in advance to do much? Moreover, airlines don't require passengers specify their weight when they purchase a ticket, so they can't really plan ahead for going over a specific weight that is itself tied to local weather conditions. Mind you, this could be avoided by building in more wiggle-room, but that is not going to be accepted as a solution because it results in waste much of the time if, for example, you have empty seats because you wanted to be sure that you wouldn't run in to the issue of going over weight.

Poor capitalists trying to squeeze every cent of margin they can't possibly plan for things that's too hard

I get what you're saying, but it's not just monetary efficiency that I meant there. It's fuel/emissions efficiency that would suffer as well. And that should be of concern to everyone.

If that's the concern use a fucking train

[-] 133arc585@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

You're right, the transatlantic train should be good enough for anyone. Who needs planes when a train gets you across the ocean with much less pollution!

No need to be aggressive mate. Your replies are rather antagonistic.

Aggressive would be shooting down jets until everybody stops flying on fossil fuels, which would be good to do by the way
