    … Am I the only one who doesn’t have a problem calling it “peasant class”? It’s the kind of slang I’d use and I always fly economy.

        Exactly haha. A poor person can say it to joke about themselves and their circumstances, a rich person doing so is just in poor taste…

      Yeah, but would you post a picture of yourself online saying that, with a fake smile and undertone of smug superiority?

      I joke about calling it steerage. Just keep walking back until you hear the Irish fiddles.

    • Imho it’s less about calling out the airplane than preemptively shitting on her neighbour. It’s the whole “I’m with the plebes so my neighbour will be a pita” that makes her sounds so disdainful.

      Also, I call it cattle class when I fly because that’s how it makes me feel.
