Better yet don't fly at all. Do your part to decarbonize.

Tell that to every celebrity. Mark Cuban has a whole collection of airplanes. The greenwashing hypocrisy needs to change. Maybe if we start charging celebrities a very high carbon tax on their personal airplanes they would use them less.

Agreed. I’ve replaced my flights with Amtrak and am better for it. It’s cheaper and less stressful.

Taylor Swift looking at you....

Most comfortable plane I've ever flown on. I guess that means more seats for me?

Extrapolating from the 737max to the 787 is ridiculous. Still prefer A380 and A350 though.

The A380 is a lovely plane (airship?) to fly on but there’s just too few of them

I'm taking the 787 to Vietnam next month and i'm not worried. It's had 20 years of C checks, etc.

yes until next crashes.

No problem, currently my remaining scheduled 2 flights this summer are on 737 MAX8s.
