    I have a prediction: Airlines won’t ackowlege that personal trackers as an effective means to track luggage becuase they’re trying to figure out how to force you to buy their own trackers.

      Frankly I’m trying to figure out how a system that even allows for luggage to be lost without any accountability is allowed to exist in two thousand twenty fucking three

        Easy: doing so would cost too much money, for not enough profit gain.

        Aka, there isn’t enough competition between airlines

          This is a pile of horseshit right here.

          Service in airlines was at its absolute worst when competition was at its tightest. It’s shit now, yes, but during the height of deregulation and “innovations” like the cattle car airlines it was far, far, far worse.
