Most people will be grateful to Dao for discouraging all airlines from involuntarily evicting passengers because of overbooking or because they are giving priority to airline staff. It was high time an airline was slapped down for their arrogant behavior. Granted there have been some incidents where passengers push the envelope as well, but the overall flying experience is in the toilet these days. If it takes an extra 1-2 hours to drive somewhere as opposed to flying, I drive rather than put up with the unnecessary union thug TSA "security" crap. Those people are a ****ing useless joke. Seriously. Why should I have to be at the airport checking in two hours before a one hour up-state flight? It takes another hour to deplane and get your bags, then you have to get a car anyway. There's another half hour or more. The odds are pretty good you're going to get a cold or flu from some sick jerk on the dirty plane as well too. The planes are filthy. It's just not worth the hassle unless you absolutely must fly. The airline industry has shived their own product. Another pet peeve is flying across country at a little over 400 knots when the plane can fly much faster. You can see planes even dip below 400 in places where there is plenty of open sky. No excuse for that. They are engaging in "fuel saving" practices at the expense of your paid for time. Planes are not filthy? https://youtu.be/wIQlkzgeZ5s -- Petzl Arguing with a woman is like reading the Software License Agreement. In the end, you ignore everthing and click "I agree" |
