It is, from every perspective except that of capitalists willing to sacrifice a few more lives for greater profit. If passengers really want to survive they can pay more money to travel on a deluxe two-pilot flight. The poors can’t afford it, but what are their lives worth anyway? It’s just the invisible hand of the market setting the truest price for each person to reflect their real value.

But think of the extra profits to be made!
