United Airlines plans to cut less popular flights — including mid-week and overnights — until the fall, in response to surging fuel prices triggered by the war in Iran, CEO Scott Kirby said Friday in a company memo.
Jet fuel prices have “more than doubled in the last three weeks,” Kirby said. US jet fuel prices rose to $4.56 per gallon on Friday, up from $2.50 on February 27, before the war started, according to data from Argus Media. That could cost United an extra $11 billion this year alone — more than double what the company has earned during its best year, Kirby noted.
And when you go to the airport, you might get groped by a goon whose previous posting was clubbing brown people. That there are over twice as many TSA agents as ICE agents doesn't matter to Grampaw Pedo the Sundowner.
The price of jet fuel rose sharply.

Eck!
I'm still not unconvinced he's not a secret Democrat on a mission to discredit the Republican Party, a closet environmentalist out to destroy Big Oil World Order ...
ReplyDeleteI want to see those goons try to operate the sophisticated scanners. Also too, they routinely reject Real ID as fake. The lines will be epic.
