Sorry, just a too wordy way of saying "the trivial differences ARE the only actual differences, driven by the economics of it, so the trivial differences are going to be what people talk about/complain about/differentiate on.

Sure, but I doubt there's any huge difference between AC and WJ in terms of delays per 100 flights or mechanical problems per 100 flights or screwed up customer service incidents per 100 customers, so that still only leaves the trivial stuff that's actually able to be used to differentiate.
I just don't see discussing those differences as jumping the shark. Though there probably are some real things that could be compared (customer satisfaction surveys, there probably are real stats for on-time flights or mechanical problems etc).

I don't know why it's relevant, you're the one who brought up 1st world problems, not me. I just figured if you were critical of one thing because it was the ultimate in first world problems, then you'd also be critical of something else that was arguably more ultimate in 1st world problems.
Sure, the thread is about problems with WJ. What it's
not about is complaining about how and what people want to say about WJ.
