Will never fly with them again. Dont care about there passengers just the almighty dollar.

The airlines can SAY whatever they want but as customers we can hit them where it hurts if they don’t take customers safety seriously. banAmericanAirlines banUnitedAirlines

All about the money!!!!!! I am NOT FLYING!!! Keep my money in my pocket..

Money people, exhibit 1,482,764

$lives

I have a family member who works at United but I’m sorry... I can’t support a business that would cram in passengers during a pandemic. My business will go elsewhere for now

Scratch those two airlines i won’t fly

CAPITALISM. WINNING.

How is this legal? Pack them in and no social distancing is the exact opposite of what is called for. Stories will be written that it didn't increase the number of covid cases, I am sure of it

Unsafe=flights to capacity on A.A. and United should not be DONE!

Big mistake

Fly the killer skies of United & AA.

Oh, well of course. Money before life...

Money before lives...

Future

Because as with ALL companies they're with you & here to help you AS LONG as their profits are there.

Airlines need to socially distance their profits for a little bit. If I catch covid19 from a flight I am definitely filing suit.

Desperate to survive, AmericanAirlines & UnitedAirlines aka Corona Airlines, are perfect examples of what happens when a leaderless federal government allows businesses and states to police themselves. Covid will be onboard. trump COVIDIOTS Florida Texas

What is wrong with you people?

That’s okay, it’s a business. Now it’s up to the consumer if they feel it’s comfortable to fly. If not don’t. I don’t feel the airlines are putting a gun to customers head and saying fly. So follow your comfort zone. We can’t be controlled forever. I’m just not flying yet.

not on your life.

Well it won’t last long when the rest of the world won’t let us in because of our Covid infection rate and once States start keeping people from high infection areas from coming in.

Why are people flying? A plane has always been the best place to catch anything, and now it's a highly contagious serious disease

This is insane. People stop flying. Stop putting yourself and the rest of us in harms way.

Because... money

a plane is literally the worst place you want to be right now. lets make sure they are filled to capacity.

Disturbing to hear that America64411220 announced middle seats will no longer remain vacant to avoid financial losses. Careless disregard for passenger safety, blatant show of greed! Fly Delta who is committed!AmericanAirlines corporatesocialresponsibility

I guess they used up their stimulus package on bonus’s.

Airplane air is clean as in a hospital filtered every 3 min. Traveling is safe. Wear a mask. Simple procedures.

Trump shot down paying for empty seats. 2 billion a day in projected losses.

Federal government should step in, this is negligence

Utter madness! Why are these airlines so intent on profit against their passengers health?

They’re killing them selves

Good luck selling seats.

eWho can help brighten up the vening?

Who wants to fly. I cannot imagine.

No response from the govt....... still silence. No one wants to talk about testing passengers before air travel... I'd like to know if I am sitting next to an asymptomatic person, who shouldn't be flying in the first place.. but the airlines got paid.......

Never put businessmen in charge of making public health decisions. Just ask the people of FL, TX and AZ.

The Darwin award can be given to all of them.

So remove AmericanAir and united from the list of carriers I will ever use again.

And this is why I won’t fly until there’s a vaccine. Profit over people, right United AmericanAir ?

flight attendance should strike they should not be forced to work in such unsafe condition

ProfElvanAktas

Too bad we don’t have any federal leadership advocating for safety

That’s crazy

In the world of bad ideas, this one is close to number one.

'The year is 2030. America is still seeing 30,000+ cases per day.'

So TWO airlines I won't be using for a long time...

flies in the face of common sense

Stupid

This is pretty insane.

Wow! No thanks. And we will avoid anyone who has been on these full flights ❌👎🏻😱

Interesting 🧐🦠😷

Is this a deal with Putin, Satan or Trump? assisting the virus to be spread around the country in the world more efficiently. This is criminal.

Big mistake, another company that only cares about profits.

Passenger experiments

😡

End of all plans to fly United & American, thank you.

LeslieMarshall complicit.

👀 Well that pretty much makes up most folks minds & they won’t be flying anytime soon. If smart, they’d advertise that every other seat will be used. At least at the beginning. Yes, they’ll lose money, but they need to build up confidence with flyers first. Bankruptcy is next.

When the protesters stormed the street without observance to Social distancing measures and the liberals and media commendation of it, I knew that pandemic is over.
