most people want fairness, not equality
airlines are a funny example of the extraordinary lengths consumers go to opt INTO class systems. a century of marxists refuse to understand this basic human truth: as long as the rules are simple, with upgrades both possible and routine, people actually love this shit.

Sort of supports neo-cameralist ideas of patchwork of corporate states concept. As long as authority is explicit and contractual, it's easy to choose. When your relationship to authority is ambiguous, you're subject to manipulation and abuse.

For instance, it's why I would shy away from companies that offer "we're like a big family" as a selling point. Often just a way to encourage a slave morality that can be used to the advantage of some at the expense of most.

I thought the class system around airlines was created more by the need for price discrimination (restricted supply & minimal productivity improvement to differentiate competition) and some principal-agent problems.
