Since our story, the company has added its planes to a popular Federal Aviation Administration program that makes it harder to see where they’re going.
Great work PP
First, they removed the giant swooshes from the tails.
But why? Everyone knows livery gives you +2 to aero.
Plus theirs is quite red, so it also gives them around +10% speed
Private planes suck, but it’s plastic straws levels compared to other important changes.
One private flight is about the same amount of carbon as the average person produces in a year. That's quite a bit more significant than straws.
As for the "important changes" part - don't let perfect be the enemy of good. We unfortunately still rely on the major polluters so it's harder to dismantle...but private jets? Those only help the 1% and the 1% has enough already
