In a different context, Robert Slawsby (@SportsTvBubba) expressed dissatisfaction with Southwest Airlines regarding passenger behavior onboard: "Go ahead, pursue your deviant lifestyle within the confines of your own home, but no one should have to see this in public. #barefeetinplanes whose onboard with this? @SouthwestAir not cool!"

Ishrion Aviation (@IshrionA) shared details on June 30, 2024: "NEW: American Airlines is set to become the only (and first-ever?) airline to offer flights to all 50 U.S. states—but just for one day."
