    For context, airline revenue is estimated around $1T world wide, so this would be less than 0.1%

    Dumb tweets cause them more financial uncertainty than this

      Cursory google search says 35.3 million flights in 2025. So $580m/35.3m flights ≈ $16/flight.

        I wonder how much my $16 pre-flight drink at the airport compares to that $16 of savings from decreased weight, too lazy to do the napkin math right now
