It’s disgusting.

My favorite was the poster that said poor people shouldn't travel. I think DC moms are winning the title for sh!ttiest people.

In general, people shouldn't do things they can't afford.

Even poor people want to travel to see loved ones once in a while. You don't know if someone is traveling to see their terminally ill relative.

Have some humanity and just shut up already.

We want lots of things we can't afford. That's just life. People who spend money they don't have is a big part of the problem in this country.

No. Insufferable dickheads are a big part of the problem in this country.

Life isn't free and you can't have everything you want. Sorry that's so triggering for you.

They bought and paid for a flight. They are not receiving the service they paid for or being accommodated for their inconvenience. That's a a failure on the company's customer service not being poor.

Its such a stressful time to travel, I really don't understand why people do it. Especially rich people who presumably have very nice homes to spend the holiday in.

They'll be reimbursed when the dust settles. They just need some patience.

Definitely a troll.

Disagreeing with you doesn't make me a troll.

Aggressively arguing strawman does.

Well, then they made their choice to travel at the most stressful and expensive time of year and it is what it is. Its not for me.

The kids have two weeks off from school. I am pretty sure we traveled every winter break besides 2020.

That's totally fine, but surely you are not shocked that its expensive and stressful and sometimes affected by weathe or illness? These are just known risks. We have sometimes traveled during this two week period too, but we mostly have concluded its not our preferred time of year to travel for all of these reasons.

So airlines should risk everyone's life to fly when it is unsafe because that is what people paid for.

Why don't you petition congress to make a law that says airlines must have enough back up aircraft to rectify all situations within 24 hours. Then the poor and a good chunk of the middle class will not be able to fly because the cost and seat availability will be extremely limiting.

It's not unsafe. The airline is mismanaged and not properly rectifying the situation. Obviously.
