Unoccupied middle seats on airline flights and 'hero bonuses' for grocery workers? The measures were nice while they lasted.

Nobody’s suggesting the coronavirus has been good for businesses. But smart companies have recognized an opportunity to show the world they’re good citizens.

“I guess @united is relaxing their social distancing policy these days? Every seat full on this 737,” he wrote. Among other things, Enqvist said United is “automatically blocking middle seats to give you enough space on board.”Charles Hobart, a United spokesman, told me the email from Enqvist “was a miscommunication and it was unfortunate.”

He said the airline understands how these seemingly contradictory messages “can be confusing to customers.”Yeah, maybe something got lost in translation. Or maybe a senior United official, declaring that “safety has always been our top priority,” made a flashy promise to passengers that turned out to be more an aspiration than an actual commitment.

Davidlaz That's going to happen in everything. Honestly, as long as this stays within GOPGenocide states and they don't respect social distancing, it's all good. They're welcome to kill each other if they're going to be that cruel toward their fellow man.

Davidlaz Did Musk deliver the ventilators he promised?

Davidlaz Skipping the middle seats still isn't enough space. The person behind you is breathing right on you.

Davidlaz NBCNews Health Correspondent told LesterHoltNBC that he caught COVID19 on a packed flight to New Orleans. Why would anyone fly again with this blatant disregard for passenger safety?
