    you can fly rather cheap also from or to UK or between other European countries, it all depends on the time of day and weekday and...

     

    And if you think the US has diverse and lots of regulation / hurdles.... I guess you missed a lot of the European details 😉

     

    EU regs are lax actually in many areas including aerospace, drugs, etc. 

     

    Just because they demand the airlines give you money for delayed money is meaningless. 

     

    For example, Airbus gets tons of subsidy that Boeing would never get.

    Europe is more regulated then the United States. On a per distance basis its way more expensive. Short flights are $150. Seattle to Atlanta is $500. It's insane.

     

    I am not talking just about FAA. The regulations in the overall aerospace world is crazy causing the planes themselves to be expensive, airport taxes, etc which they make the money from US airlines.

     

    It's some what similar scenario to the drug and med device industry. Shit is cheaper in OUS due to cost of affordability. 

     

    And by distance, I meant fuel but also what the market will bear. A $150 flight is nothing in the USA whereas anything above $500 per person has folks thinking.

    What's crazy about that btw is how much airplanes are in Europe. I flew all the time in the UK. I will rarely ever fly in the US till move back to Europe when I retire. It's 2-3x more expensive in the USA

    Well the US is much bigger. They aren't doing these little hops left and right like the UK. 

     

    Not to mention regulation hurdles and being subsidized by the nation like some airlines.

    Oh now I know why there is no E grade in India. All my life I thought F for Fail that's why F. Fuck.

     

    Let's be honest here. Anything below a A is a failure in the Indian world. 

     

    I learned that very quickly getting all those Bs and Cs. My Afrikaaner mom was like it's okay and my Indian dad was like you are a failure.

    To be honest I’ve never understood watching comedy films in theater - only one I’ve seen was hangover and that was because it was a date. Comedies are glorified tv films

     

    Going to the movies is more communal than anything akin to going sport games and what not. It's why bars are filled on Sundays for NFL.

     

    And comedies are hilarious when you are laughing with other people rather than a weirdo alone in your room.
