Summary
An American Airlines passenger, Jared Guynes, recorded a video of a flight crew asking for volunteers to give up their seats due to extreme heat in Las Vegas, which affected the plane’s ability to take off. The flight needed 50 passengers to volunteer to take a later flight, and those who did were offered a $1500 voucher. The incident was attributed to the high temperature, which caused air molecules to become less dense, reducing the plane’s lift.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Volunteering to give up your seat on a flight is now a thing. Extreme heat is the new excuse for flight delays. Passengers are now incentivized to give up their seats with vouchers and cash. The science behind passenger reduction is now a thing. Volunteering is now worth it, apparently.
When the temperature gets too high, the plane needs to shed some weight – and that means passengers.
