American Airlines has been suffering from recent budget cuts. Recently they have decided to take away complimentary cabin pressurization. This change will start on March 15th. It does not make "economies sense" for the airline to provide breathable air for its passengers. On the bright side, those willing to pay may be upgraded to first and business class. American Airlines is apologetic to those who will receive "altitude sickness, blood problems, dimmed vision, or hyperventilation that may result from air pressure less than a third normal levels" but they assure their passengers that it will go away as the aircraft descends. This airline has also been thinking about discounting landing gear for the flights under 4 hours. They are finding new ways to cut down on costs everyday.Recently airlines have started cutting back in order to save money. There has been an occasion where an airline took out one olive from their salads to save money. In this article the budget cuts of airlines are being satired. At times the news over exaggerates in order to get a point across, therefore not always being completely accurate. This is funny because sometimes an airline will cut back on such ridiculous things. Although it would never come to cutting back on air pressure in the cabin, it is funny to even consider an airline having such a ridiculous cut back to save money.

Wow . American Airlines has really stepped up to the plate , by thinking of new and innovative ways to save money. It's brilliant to cut out the pressure from inside the aircraft cabins . It is not like the passengers need it anyway ! The resulting illnesses are not even that deadly; Only blurred vision, hyperventilation and blood problems . My favorite is when they mention the olive that has been excluded from the menu. That will sure save them plenty of money ! Nice work, Maria !
ReplyDeleteWho needs air to breathe 30,000 feet in the sky anyways? This article is undeniably amusing and entertaining. The bogus apology from the airline for withdrawal of air in cabins is comical! This shows how desperate airlines are to make budget cuts, and that they will even eliminate ONE olive out of a sandwich to save money. In order to show the ridiculous ways airlines are cutting down, the Onion writes about them taking away air in cabins, which is a necessity! Awesome job on the lively post!
ReplyDeleteI find this article to be truly hilarious. After all, who needs oxygen to breathe, right? Maria has done extremely well emphasizing the amount of insanity and ridicule that is mentioned in the piece in order to prove the common wastefulness and resourcing in America that even affects our airlines. Awfully hysterical, Maria!
ReplyDeleteThis news article is truly hilarious! The airlines' efforts of saving money lead to cases of cutting back on the air passengers must breathe or taking one olive out of each sandwich that is purchased? It is quite crazy to imagine something like this would ever happen in real life! Great post Maria!
