And on Monday, Delta announced that it had banned a belligerent Trump supporter for life after the man disrupted a flight with a tirade about “Hillary bitches”. We don’t expect airlines to act decently. There were a slew of feelgood stories last month, for example, around Alaska Airlines removing a passenger who sexually harassed a flight attendant. The relationship between airline passengers and carriers has grown decidedly toxic. We expect to be treated badly, we expect flying to be unpleasant, and we’re pathetically grateful whenever airlines treat us like human beings rather than inconvenient cargo.
