Remember: you can always pick a different airline.

Yes, but also, collectively, democratically, via are laws, we can set where a race to the bottom ends.

No, I can't. They're the only airline serving the city I have to visit a few times a year. Next two airports are 250 and 350 km away.

Not really feasible.

Until all other short-haul airlines copy them

They already copied many, many other aspects of the low-cost business model, so I'm sure this will follow

Like it or not, we live in a market economy with market competition. There are new airlines every year. In 2022 there was a net increase of 13 airlines in europe alone. If people want paper boarding passes, some competitor will give it to them. Always been like that in market economies, and socialists will keep fearmongering about "what one company does" like its the end of the world.
