6. Band-Aids Are Not Solutions to Every Problem

Well, by the sound of it, by the time Eastern Airlines shut down, it was long overdue. They shut down for good in 1991, and it seems their planes were poorly maintained due to a lack of budget to the point that band-aids had to be used to repair things.

Oof. I’ve been on Spirit Airlines, but this just sounds like a whole new level of unpleasantness, as even Spirit isn’t that bad. Armrests are the only saving grace on some of those flights, and not having one properly working can just ruin an already uncomfortable experience.
