Passenger Boards AA Flight with One Other, Empty Cabins New Normal

Just about every industry in America is being hit hard by the coronavirus -- but when you have the whole plane pretty much to yourself ... you know airlines are especially screwed., who took an American Airlines flight Saturday from Newburgh, NY to Philly, and would later connect to an L.A. flight. Along the way, he walked into an empty cabin -- save for one other passenger traveling with him -- and it truly made for a surreal scene.

Rows and rows of empty seats, except for Dan and other fella. Yeah, he had some fun with it ... but this reality is becoming more and more common. And, frankly, it's concerning on a number of fronts.For one, it's a testament to how doused the air travel industry is with coronavirus woes right now. Very few are flying at the moment, and airlines have cut back their flight schedules significantly.

Frankly, it's probably more expensive to operate these planes and flights -- even just the domestic ones -- than the money they're seeing coming in from anyone booking tickets. At the end of the day, airlines might have to seriously self-regulate to avoid going under. The new stimulus package that just passed will certainly help in avoiding that, but still ... the longer this goes on, the more dire it becomes. Not just that, but some flight attendants have also expressed concerns about having to continue working, worrying about getting sick.

Circling back to Dan, he says there was just one flight attendant on-board, and she did the whole safety spiel. No cart service, but more upsetting -- no upgrade from coach ... seriously.

Why aren't airlines spacing people on planes? Why can't they use the oxygen masks or regular mask?. Test flyers before boarding first? What are other countries doing for domestic flights?

... it's a 50 seat, regional jet 🙄 there is NO first class

I think regulations require pilots get a certain amount of hours within a time frame to keep commercial license. From what hear is higher than expected, so they have to fly some or when this ends will be short competent pilots or remedial training costs and delays.

And they still didn’t let him sit in first class.

I'd fly. To where I have no idea.

First class upgrade?

WTH are they going as they shld b inside

Ok

What a waste of fuel

I wonder what it cost these 2 to charter this whole plane? You’d think they would have chartered one with less seats thouhg, with just too of them.

Why take off.more gas being wasted

seems common sense is not a thing anymore. Poor Greta head must be about to explode seeing stories like this. she had to travel across the world on a sail boat like christopher colombus

Bless His Heart!!

Kind of creepy not to have anyone else on board.

Congrats, upgraded to Business Class
