I don’t think we have to be this unkind to each other

There’s a conversation happening on TikTok where the girls are finally talking about how a lot of men aren’t actually attractive. Like you go to the grocery store and see a ton of stunning women, but men? You will remember how many months back you last saw a hot man.

@kpottermn @EllenYChang the flights are in regions of the world where jet fuel price spikes are currently most accute
English
But the answer is not yes! Not yet.
We’re so far away from widespread cancellations being a real threat. In the short term (call it 3-6 months) we’re talking about cutting a daily frequency here and there, chopping a route into a small regional airport or a competitor’s stronghold.
And anything in/out of NYC & AUS is about as far down the list of potential cuts as one could get.

Sincere question: if jet fuel prices triple is there a chance airlines rescind tickets already sold for later in the year at a cheap price?

@kpottermn @EllenYChang i was just curious if my flights had a good chance of being cancelled, and im glad to know the answer is yes! ty

This goes beyond a differentiation without a difference, though.
Any cancellations would be motivated not by fares paid but just broader network changes. And airlines would be required to either put passengers on the next-best available flight or offer a refund.
Doesn't mean there won't be pain for customers if (and it's still an if) this all happens, but it wouldn't be on the scale of what you first suggested. And I say that as someone who is about as adversarial as it gets covering this industry.
English
@kpottermn @EllenYChang Appreciate the answer, and I get that there’s a semantic difference, but it’s a bit strange to say this absolutely won’t happen and then say it could happen

"The superpower has lost control of its foreign policy"
This is an unprecedentedly powerful statement to make by the FM of Oman, a country known for its strategic neutrality, which has been so utterly disappointed by Trump blowing up the negotiations

RE: Chavez/UFW, there are really painful q's about power & complicity here that can't be productively discussed on Twitter.
I'll only say, before swapping street names for D. Huerta, it's worth reading up on what the UFW—& Huerta—were really like, esp in their culty Synanon days
