They cannot ban all of us.

yeah, they really can. Flights are a sellers market, they run near empty flights often. Plus less people are using AirTags than you think.

Again, I think its a dumb rule. But don't think you are special and can just ignore it forever with no consequences.

I suspect I'm misreading your comment. You say "they run near empty flights often", which is not true based on current load factor data, at least in the US[1]; it's as high as ever.

But you also say "it's a sellers market" which would imply high demand where they can afford to lose a few passengers (which would be true based on basic economics). So I suspect this is what you intended to say, unless I'm really misunderstanding something.

Why do you feel the need to defend large companies when you don't even agree with them? It's a fascinating phenomenon.

> run near empty flights often

This is kind of amazing to hear. Roughly the last 10 flights I've been on have been completely full.
