She could be merchant class. Probably is.
Bought airport food? Didn't have free corporate airline lounge meal as high-margin customer? Peasant.
Not knowing poster, is anyone sure this isn't ironic usage of "peasant" before the pitchforks are distributed?
I'm guessing this person isn't a real frequent flyer if shes expecting a chatterbox and has a sandwich with her.
Probably just shock how how much worse planes have gotten.
But who knows
I just got off of a flight, it was about 40 minutes in the air, and there were people who paid to upgrade to 'first class' for a 40 minute flight.
I'd rather be peasant class than so weak that I couldn't stand 40 minutes sitting 6 inches closer to the person next to me.
How do you know they paid? When I was a frequent flier I'd always get upgraded on short flights because... No one paid for first class on those flights but the airline could consume an upgrade.
Plus iirc it looks better to the airline to have first filled up, so the cattle class see it as something to aspire to
If you have a long layover, flying business or first on any leg gives you (or used to) access to the premium lounge, so sometimes you can recover what you pay for the upgrade, but most of the time they give them to the gold or whatever members who are flying
They give out money in the lounge?
They give food, beverages and comfortable chairs
That's not enough to make up for the difference in price
Upgrading on those short flights is usually less than $40. If you have a long layover you can definitely get your money back. Even just being able to sit in a comfortable chair adds some value
wow, 40$. Upgrading on my flight home was 800€ (which I did not take obviously). It's a long distance but still
I've never seen an upgrade that cheap, but the shortest flight I've ever taken (and actually frequently take) is 90 minutes - and the upgrade cost is still an order of magnitude over $40.
But yeah, that would be worth $40.
I've seen $40 a few times with Delta during check in on flights of less than 2 hours. I guess it's like a last minute deal trying to sell the upgrade instead of giving it to someone with premium status
If you had chronic back pain, you might consider paying for that upgrade. Normal plane seats are painful.
Hell, some airlines have seat pitches so low that I can't even fit in the seat.
Peasant class? I like that. Where is my pocket guillotine again?
I think the thing you are looking for is a cigar cutter. A bit small, but it is great for cutting off another type of head.
Rabbi Tuckman?
.. Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem calling it "peasant class"? It's the kind of slang I'd use and I always fly economy.
That's our word, she can't use it
Exactly haha. A poor person can say it to joke about themselves and their circumstances, a rich person doing so is just in poor taste..
Yeah, but would you post a picture of yourself online saying that, with a fake smile and undertone of smug superiority?
Personally, I call it cattle class.
Imho it's less about calling out the airplane than preemptively shitting on her neighbour. It's the whole "I'm with the plebes so my neighbour will be a pita" that makes her sounds so disdainful.
Also, I call it cattle class when I fly because that's how it makes me feel.
I don't care who you are, on a plane I'm putting on my noise canceling headphones and reading.
I wouldn't have known who she is without the comments and even then i still have never heard of her books.
I bought earbuds in flesh color. I tend to only ever have one on to stay alert and I listen to podcasts. I'm not ashamed to admit that I bought them in flesh color so that I can pretend it's a hearing aid so I can ignore strangers on transit. I like to pretend like it's off and I can't hear you
That's why I like headphones, sends a clearer signal I feel.
wait people write shit like this on LinkedIn?
There was a post where a kid was shooting a penalty against a professional goal keeper and the goalkeeper was blocking every shot. He was also posturing against the kid.
People were commenting on how great that was to make strong men.
That's the kind of weird shit I've sorta come to expect from LL but people referring to economy as peasant class is kind of wild even for this kinda community haha
What an asshole.
Wouldn't say a word but with a little cheese and time, she'll wish I was speaking with my mouth. Hopefully the collateral damage will understand that they suffer for a noble cause.
Her seat, my cheeks.
