Airlines have been reporting record profits but in reality they are losing money and it's in the billions of dollars.

    Holy crap, I'm listening to an airline pilot - who repeatedly claims to be "not very smart" - provide me with a very logical, cogent, and understandable explanation of the macroeconomics of the passenger airline and credit card industries.

    30 seconds in and Kelsey's already roasting people. Love it.
  • @mxandrew
    kelsey’s lack of intellectual arrogance and being strictly concerned with making sure the facts are right is so refreshing given how the internet is these days
  • @majortwit
    The tiny fares are reflected in the number of unsavory butts in the seats. There will be much less of the current antics when the fares are sufficiently increased.
  • @kenbrown2808
    reminds me of the old joke, "we lose a dollar on every sale, but we make up for it in volume."
  • Airlines are basically banks these days with their frequent flyer mile programs.

    I just booked a European business ticket on a 4 hour flight and was told, no meal supplied (threshold is now 4.5 hours). It's double the cost of the economy seat, but that curtain they draw across the cabin will make ALL the difference to my flight comfort! Yea airlines, cry me a river.
  • @3:45 “just had to pay for that trip to that exotic destination for that girl you met on Onlyfans…” yep, Kelsey definitely speaking from experience here. 😂

    I bought a car a couple of months ago when I learned that the dealership wasn't selling cars, they were selling financing. My paying cash for a vehicle made me persona non-grata. as they could sell the same car to someone who would also buy financing. Yup - we live in that world. Kelsey - check out "equity funds" next. Another horror story for all of us.

    The credit cards carry obscenely high interest rates. Unless you pay your balance every month, you are screwed.

    I look forward to Kelsey Sundays. Thank you, Captain.

    If I don't get that credit card and use it, it's my fault the airline goes bust. What a quandary. Some people invest in mutual funds; I invest in firewood for my house in the middle of nowhere.

    The cost for a regular seat may be low when booking 2 months early, but the cost to fly in a few days is very high. I often see $900 to fly nonstop roundtrip between 2 bigger cities, while the cost for others is around $300. Like credit cards, the late bookings increased fare is used to offset the low cost for early bookings to average the income from the flight much higher.

    Your expertise goes way beyond flying an airplane. Great tutorial on the economics of commercial aviation. Thanks.
  • @TheAliKoca
    I’m looking forward to the day we get blessed with “Kelsey Airlines”
  • I really appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share it, Kelsey. And your sense of humor. Thank you.
  • Good grief. Why would anyone not pay off their entire CC balance every billing cycle? Makes no financial sense at all, unless you had some kind of medical emergency or car breakdown. Live within your means folks!
