Business has surrendered to a model of "efficiency" that is enormously penny wise and pound foolish.
Trying to save every last penny, they cut out much of what is necessary in all business interactions, in all human interactions...all the civility, decency and kindness. And then everything de-evolves into annoyance and anger and conflict and all sorts of problems.
Airlines pay staff as little as possible. They work them as hard as possible.
Makes everyone annoyed and all the time.
Planes have recycled air. It is bad quality air. People breathing in bad quality air? A portion of the folks whose health is little poorer are going to get emotionally agitated. Why? They are literally not getting enough oxygen! Recycled air has something like half the oxygen of regular air.
Why do they do it? Well, there is a legitimate reason. Lower oxygen content reduces fires if a plane crashes and creates higher levels of survivors. What they don't say, is that they could also create far more heavily insulated wires and other kinds of electrical construction that would make the planes just as safe and give passengers normally healthy air.
But why do that, when you can save money, by giving passengers constantly bad air to breathe and saving a few pennies?
Top to bottom, we just continually surrender to the worst angels of our nature, instead of the better...and we have problems all across the board because of it.
And, of course, the bad air / lower oxygen content is, of course, the primary reason why some passengers go nuts and create fights.
But fix that? By having a proper oxygen content and doing the hard work to properly re-wire planes for optimal electrical safety?
They are not going to spend that money. They just won't.
