I hate commercial flying anymore. Like many other things in our safety-consciencous, touchy PC world, it's just not worth the irritation these days.

Anyone remember freedom? Remember when flying was fun and not a totalitarian nightmare?

I have never been in jail, but it seems like flying is just that. No thanks.

I spent a good potion of my business flying when passengers were treated with respect and the food was pretty good. My cross-country trips on United actually had a sandwich buffet, all you could eat.

Then the trips during the late 90s and 2000 the stewardesses started acting like little Hitlers and looked like my Aunt. I got sick of them and from 2000 on my contracts had a no travel clause, except when I had to drive a few hours to monitor my subs.

That’s exactly it! It is why traveling via train is so much calmer. You get on the train. There are no safety rules and regulations for absolutely every move you make. You just simply... get on.
