That's because you waited in the gates and not the bars playing live music.

I've seen this mentioned a lot on social media and other news outlets and every time people were slamming it in the comments. Is there a chance they will end up walking it back or maybe making sure that this is only on flights where passengers would be more receptive to it (like spring break, or a Friday flight to LAS or something).

Why must it be country rock? Why not some DJ downtempo beats? Or a string quartet? Jazz trio?
Well at least they published the routes to avoid.

I could enjoy that as well.
I could enjoy almost anything other than country rock.

This isn’t “fun”, despite your consistent attempts at cheerleading. It is agony.

The routes shown are the ones where they've had the concerts in the past, not necessarily where they will be in the future.

Unclear on why the hate on this idea??? How was it any different than the previous live concerts. This last no more than 5-7 mins and is a nice surprise for some folks. No good deed goes unpunished. I think most folks would rather fly BLAH airlines

I like the Idea as it is not on all routes/limited time and something different.

I'm sorry, but I think 90% of the population will disagree. Most on the airplane will be capturing it on social media and sharing how cool it was their flight had a concert.

I hope nobody books a flight specifically for a concert which never happens because there's too much turbulence, or worse, the flight is canceled outright.

That's why I bring drink coupons: Just get me to the airport and put me on a plane... I wanna be sedated.

I agree with others that these concerts should take place on spring break flights or Friday night flights to places like LAS. I don't see these going over well on business heavy routes and family routes like out of MCO.
