What fucking piece of shit decides that MORE SAFETY is a PREMIUM ADDONT? That is literally suggesting that some passengers lives are worth less than others.
Planes should be as safe as they can possibly be. Full stop. Premium should be for things like comfort and things you can do with out.
It's the same in the car industry, unfortunately. Many options that are more or less pure safety-only, and not convenience, are not included unless you open up a little more.
It economically (to the car industry) may make sense (opt ups, recover costs, etc), but it's sad in a way.
