Airlines Having Lists of Banned Customers?

Isn't it possible that airlines bear at least partial responsibility for packing us in tiny seats, in over crowded cabins, like a herd of animals ?
Seriously, I have been on some flights were I could not breathe and I almost paniced.

My suggestion would be to fly business or first class. More room, but beware, those better classes don’t always come with better dressed people. Several people use their frequent flyer miles to upgrade. I have had people on my flights, mostly members of the younger crowd, come onboard in first class wearing a cutoff t-shirt with cutoff shorts and of all things, a pair of slides on their feet. In cases of an emergency, I suggest wearing closed toe shoes.

Flying in general is not a pleasant experience, so add to that the mask mandates and people already on edge can easily go over the edge. I must admit that I'm one of those people on edge and have gotten pissed off at people out in public. I support the mask mandates. It's the anti-maskers who piss me off.

I agree, even though I flew for United for 33 years. The worse part to me has always been the treatment at the airport by other passengers and now by TSA staff. Most are respectful, but like any other job, there are a few that seem to want to bait me into a confrontation.
