“We’re heading for a time where the passenger compartment on an airliner is going to resemble a Tijuana bus ... chickens and dogs running up and down the aisles — notwithstanding that they would be “service chickens” and “service dogs”.”
You must not fly much. Hate to tell you this, but we’re already there!
Except there is generally more adult supervision on a Tijuana bus.
You're correct. Although I used to fly extensively -- when it was exciting and downright fun! -- now that I'm semi-retired I only do so when I positively, absolutely, no-other-way-to-get-there must! I'd much rather drive even though the highways are nearly completely filled with textsters, druggies and -- mostly -- by people who have no earthly reason nor ability to operate a motor vehicle.
Cheers!
