More news for you, the airlines aren’t trying to sell their flights for as little as possible as is. They’re trying to maximize their profits, not minimize them.
Who said anything about not approving of people’s lifestyles? You seem to be just looking to argue and are resorting to putting words in my mouth. There’s probably more than a couple of posters having a chuckle over you trying to frame me as someone who would advocate for transferring more wealth to corporations. Thanks for coming out though.

The OP stated that some existing Air Canada routes are scheduled to be cancelled. Everyone was discussing that news and how it might play out or how it related to someone they knew.

Which had a tangential relationship to the topic, if I'm generous. Not a single person mentioned "destination vacations". The number of unique people who partake in flying is publicly unknown. However, it is known that
928 million people flew in 2019, before the pandemic. That's in one country of about 1/3 the size. So it isn't something I'd categorize as "something a large portion of the population doesn’t get to do".
Anyway, it's been a highly enjoyable style of discourse. Thanks for learning me about business.
