✈️THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT AVIATION STAGNATION
As I wait to board my 9-hour night flight - one that I’ve been told will have no internet connectivity in 2025 - I feel compelled to share some truly shocking discoveries about an industry that seems frozen in time.
🤯The Customer Disconnect:
Would you believe that while 33% of passengers complain about flight disruptions and 11% about carry-on luggage issues, airlines are obsessing over seat designs? It's like fixing the wallpaper while the house is on fire.
🤯The Technology Time Capsule
Brace yourselves for these shocking revelations:
- The FAA's NOTAM system is a 30-year-old relic, and they won't update it for at least six more years
- Major airlines are running on scheduling systems from the 1990s
- Southwest Airlines had to cancel 16,000 flights in just 10 days because their systems were essentially running on digital fossils
🫢The Innovation Desert
The numbers are staggering:
- New airline ventures have plummeted from 60 per year in 2016 to fewer than 10 in 2022
- Delta's outdated network cost them over $100 million in a single disruption
- Southwest's ancient router failure led to 2,000 flight cancellations, costing them up to $82 million
⚡️My #nostr 2sats:
As I prepare to board a flight where I'll be digitally stranded for the next 9 hours, I can't help but marvel at the irony. We have #bitcoin. We're in an age where your refrigerator can order groceries, but I won't be able to send a simple email or a zapp from what should be one of humanity's greatest technological achievements.
May your next flight be in a more innovative future.
