Comment on Why do we put up with this crap?

But even with that margins are tight, so 99.5% of why your flight is expensive is that planes are not cheap to operate and fuel isn’t free. But we can pretend it’s all the other thing to maintain slave morality.

Also when was the last time an airline stock paid a dividend?

Delta is paying a dividend of $0.15 per share this quarter. Southwest is paying $0.18. Spirit used to pay $0.10 but I don’t think they do any more.

So tight! Can barely afford to keep the plane in the air what with all the stock buybacks.
