Axe of Discontent: Seats Go Unfilled
Hmph. These airline chieftains they bleat like goats before the slaughter. They speak of 'economic uncertainty' and 'weaker than expected demand'. As if I Kratos care for their financial woes! They overestimated the masses' desire to be crammed into metal birds. 'Boy,' they should have known that hubris leads to downfall. Even Gods know this. Now they lament empty seats. The Ghost of Sparta sheds no tear.
Blame Game: Trump's Policies Volatile Markets
These mortals always pointing fingers! First Trump then the markets. Excuses all of them! 'Uncertainty pops up the first thing that goes away is corporate travel,' one analyst whines. As if uncertainty is a new phenomenon! Life is uncertainty! Embrace it! Or you know crush it like I crushed those Olympian fools. Perhaps I should lend them my Blades of Chaos to cut through this… 'uncertainty'.
Capacity Cuts: Shrinking the Skies
So the airlines shrink their ambitions. They cut back 'capacity growth'. Meaning? Fewer seats. Fewer opportunities for mortals to complain about legroom and overpriced peanuts. 'Boy,' even you could see this coming. These airlines aim for the stars and crash back down to earth.
Cheaper Fares: A Glimmer of Hope?
Ah a flicker of something resembling good news. Airfare falls! Perhaps the gods have shown them mercy. A mere 5.3% they say. Insignificant! But a drop nonetheless. Now maybe mortals can afford to escape their miserable lives… briefly. Before returning to their toil and troubles. It is like being chained in the Underworld. You get used to it.
Corporate Travel Troubles: The Price of Frugality
The 'corporate travel' dwindles. Mortals tighten their purse strings. Is this not obvious? They hoard their hard earned drachmas... err dollars. The Ghost of Sparta understands the value of a well saved coin. But fear not! Apparently the rich still fly at the front and cross oceans. No economic downturn stops those who can afford it. As it should be.
Certainty's Promise: A Fool's Hope
'Certainty will restore the economy,' one of these airline leaders dares to proclaim. Fool! Certainty is an illusion! Life is chaos! Embrace the madness! Or you know just lower the damn ticket prices. Maybe then more mortals will risk their lives in your flimsy metal cages.

I wouldn't trust these airlines to fly me to the local market, let alone across the ocean.
