I’ve taken five flights in the past five weeks. Four United and one Southwest. No problems. TSA in Spokane a few days ago was outstanding. Fast, efficient, and friendly. My wife dropped me off and I was at the gate about ten minutes later.

I don’t deny there are problems, but I don’t see them.

I’m glad to hear you’re having good experiences. Flying makes me a little anxious. I prefer driving if we can.

Generally, people on flights are more rude, louder, and have less self control than they used to. Everyone seems a bit entitled. Some don’t use headphones on their devices, so the people around them better enjoy what they’re watching or listening to. One man, when asked if he could talk quieter, talked even louder. Was boisterous. Not drunk, just had an attitude.

Children are allowed to act up and kick the seat in front of them. Parents don’t do anything to stop it.

Like I said, I’m glad your travels have been great. The last few times we’ve flown it just seems to be getting worse. These were on United and American flights, not Frontier, Spirit, or Allegiant. Decorum has gone out the window. IMHO.
