For all those who think flying on an airline is better than GA.

that was my thought when they ran this story on NBC news last night.
There is a "discontinuity" in the flight if you look at flightaware.com.
What was the date 12/29?

American Airlines 1348

What a mess, did American just forget about this plane? What would
explain that situation?

Assuming they didn't change out the crew wouldn't there be a violation
there?

I think I'd rather have a scorpion sting me than be stuck on that plane for
that long on the ground.

That's the second one this week. Here's another story of a scorpion
stinging a passenger, on an American airlines flight this time, out of
Miami.

Border Protection obviously isn't doing its job, or Al Quada is using
trained arachnids to terrorize the US.

Last month I spent two days in a terminal and 9 hours on two different
planes on the ramp to make it from St Louis to Phoenix in 39 hours.
First day was due to weather. Second day was due totally to airline
mismanagement, incompetence, and cluelessness. Our pilot finally
learned that the flight was cancelled from a passenger. Airline
bureaucracy can not handle changes. Pilots aren't even in the loop.

The sad thing is most the people on that flight will fly AA again! Like
leaving a TIP for bad service!

Passengers do not FLY on the airlines. They RIDE. Only the pilot and
copilot FLY.

Next time you hear a friend say "I'm flying to ........." tell him,
"Like hell you are; you're just RIDING!"
