For the airlines? If there are any profits they’re going into CEO pockets, not safety. Believe it. The safety regulations are being removed asap

You know who could really use a private gym, spa, meditation and calming center? The #AirTrafficControllers, who are #UnderStaffed, #UnderPaid and #OverWorked so they can stay sane and keep the rest of us safe while we travel. #DuffyTheDumbAss
