U.S. Airlines Worry Greta Thunberg’s Flight Shame Campaign Could Hurt Industry

Breitbart: Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg’s campaign to make people feel “flight shame” if they travel by plane has led to the reduction of bookings in her native Sweden. Now the U.S. airline industry is worried that the trend could take hold in this country.

The Los Angeles Times reported on this development:

The Swedish teenager, who has been vocal about combating climate change, may have played a role in a recent 4 percent drop in the number of commercial passengers flying in Sweden, where the term “flygskam,” or flight shame, has gained popularity.

Some U.S. airline executives are now expressing concern that the same guilt could take hold in the U.S., prompting American travelers to think twice before buying an airline ticket.

Robin Hayes, chief executive of New York-based JetBlue Airways, told industry analysts during a conference call recently that it’s only a matter of time before Americans follow the lead of their Swedish counterparts to find more environmentally friendly alternatives to commercial air travel. read more

  1. Maybe you could talk to your fellow corporate heads and ask them to quit given attention to the uneducated child and her ilk whom are being manipulated by adults for there own purposes and start standing up to them and pushing back on there unproven claims you wouldn’t have to make these stupid statements which make it appear she holds the winning hand. Its your own damn faults. There’s a man residing on Pennsylvania Ave you could pay attention to and get some pointers from. Idiots!

  2. I already don’t like travel by aeroplane.

    I’m treated like a criminal before I ever get on the fucking thing.

    I need a coal fired VW Beetle. That would make Greta’s head explode.

    Fuck you, skank. I like petrol, coal, and nuclear (nucular for the morons) power. I like LP, too, but to a lesser extent. I like fracking because it makes people like Greta lose sleep.

  3. Poor Greta, she is nothing but a human ventriloquist dummy, someone ,an adult is filling her mouth with words she barely know the meaning. To Greta, I say, go fly a kite.

    I think that’s his locker combo from the bus depot where he lives, a big step up from the mud hut.
    82,8254 is a number you can’t define. Why spam here, we’re not going to his site unless we can beat some smarts into him.

  6. The airlines should worry about all the people they cram into those fucking flying tin cans of theirs. Christmas 2018 flight I took one look at the people in the back, wedged in between the bulkhead and the back of the seats in front of them, and nearly fucking wept.

    One day the peasants will be tired of paying to be treated like canned peas, and that day won’t be pretty.

  7. Antidote, use Greta’s alternative. Hire a crew who must fly to your country to pilot your sail boat across the sea. Sure, more carbon is released but your virtue signals will be read loud and clear.
