That’s not the way to look at it. The airline has a total cost hurdle for the flight to make sense. If they don’t cover that the flight doesn’t happen. So in a very real sense, your seatmate paying half what you are could be the difference between the flight going or not. As long as they are covering the direct costs of their flight (fuel, etc.) they are helping the flight take place at all. Since the assumption is the business travelers ‘really, really want that flight’ everyone benefits here.
For something similar but seemingly nutty, try the podcast ‘Northwoods Baseball’. It consists entirely of ‘broadcasts’ of baseball games in a fake baseball league. Sounds crazy, but works for me! Each ‘game’ lasts about 2.5 hours.
Can confirm. I have an 1898 house in the Northeast. Just upgraded from 100A service to 200A service for $3900. I didn’t own the house at the time, but I believe it went from 40A to 100A in 1985.
I haven’t received a notice either. I do however use Google as my domain registrar, and I purchase storage from Google. Is it even conceivable that either of those has spared me? Or is Google just lagging with its termination notices?
Just some minor pushback. When walking, ‘look at chimneys’. There is something to be said for enforcing an uplifted posture, plus engaging with the light. Honestly, it makes a difference!
