During a recent trip on a Scandinavian airline, H and I wondered how social democratic countries that promote making everybody equal can then offer multi class cabins on the aircraft? Even if business class only offers the same seating as economy but with the provision of free snacks. We were surprised to see that countries whose fiscal policies have such a focus on redistribution of wealth to equalize the quality of life, and even the lifestyles, of everybody, can then offer a service that blatantly emphasizes class and wealth divides. Unless of course, everybody's economy class tickets cost a bit more than necessary to enable those in business class to pay the same, or less, for more.
All was well though; once the ground crew came off of their government mandated break and loaded the luggage onto the plane, we were able to reach our next destination only about two hours late. Again, laws that protect the employee but not the customer, or perhaps even the employer, is that fair in the Nordic model?
