Airline CEOs doing their damnedest to out-fumble eachother.

It's truly amazing....they must stand at the front of meetings and just ask "how do we make our passengers hate us most?"

Maybe I don't understand the economics of this move, but are they really going to make that much more money from targeted ads? If it's double the price, I assume it's worth it, but if it's a ~10% gain it's just dumb.

Numbers must go up at all costs. By the time the company's reputation hit rock bottom, the CEO already jumped ship to the next company.
