New Re: The War on Airline Passengers (bad lang alert)
I wasn't paying, my company was.

Fuckers confiscated my keychain screwdriver/1/8" knife thingie.

As if I was going to be able to stab a stewardess/steward with that feeble thing.

growl. makes me want to load up on explosives next time I fly, just for the fucking fun of it.

Damn idiots had me run my fucking *books* thru the X=ray, as if it would've found anything the personal detector everyone walks thru wouldn't have found it.

Airlines can die a horrible death, as far as I'm concerned. Allowing this screwy bullshit and then asking for Fed assistance, well screw them and everyone.

New Let's hope we have some company -
in the.. Kill the Bullshit or Count Me OUT Indefinitely department. But given the wimps, and the bizheads who will eat Any qty. of shit.. if there's some profit on the horizon (or loss of a corner office if you refuse) - I figure I'm grounded for the duration [of this Admin].

Pity we destroyed our rail system (too).

New We knew who the fed was / currently is run by -
Now what about the airlines' competence before or after 9/11?

Vaunted theories about the 'competition in the marketplace' well aside, when's the last time you were asked how you Liked their treatment from curbside to curbside? (Or if you volunteered - when's the last time the shrug you got was noticeably any different from that of your congresscritter?)

(Of course today, Sen. Byrd is tryin to make a bit o' sense to the stampede. So much for generalities)

Yeah I mean, it takes a Whole Village to fuck up a basic transport mode This badly, and for so long, (and according to you - 'cause they don't even understand their own Econ principles ;-)


Bizness, like Soylent Green is people - or is it?

At least you're not a grandmother in a wheelchair selected for a random frisking.

Remember when flying was fun?

My favorite stupid thing is "everyone under 40 carded" to buy cigs or beer. I refuse. If I get carded, I dump everything on the counter and say "no thanks".

How stupid will we collectively get before the wheels fall off?
