More to consider when selecting an airline. Greedy fuckers, I hope their stock takes a nosedive thanks to this

It'll probably take a small dip and then rise quite a bit once profits from implementing it start rolling in

‘Capitalism breeds innovation’

The innovation

Seriously. It's nearly a sure thing. I should buy on Monday and see how it goes. People are sleepwalking about adtech shit so they'll continue to fly United. There's already a dude in this thread telling people to chill and just don't fly if they don't like it. The ad revenue should be pretty juicy, too. They have a bored captive audience identified by full name and credit card number.

And if it succesful, or at least passenger doesn't boycott them over it, it is just a question of time until other airlines adds it as well

Part of the problem is that UA is such a massive airline, odds are any alternatives would involve quite a bit of sacrifice. Not many people would be willing or can afford to take an extra 2 layovers or 50%+ extra travel time or cost in order to get to where they want to go 🫤 That's not to say I won't try my best to avoid UA though, I was already sick of them after my last trip and now I find this news.
