Nothing has changed
The airlines are just figuring out how to make money on a captive audience
Consider this , you take an $125 flight from Dallas to Denver and pay $15 dollars to connect to WiFi on flight
Where is the airline making its money?
In New Speak, Airlines are just looking to monetize your flight experience
Long enough to go pee and wash my hands. All the airlines had to do was ask.
Nothing terrifies me more than seeing a 500 lb blob waddling down the aisle and I’ve got an empty seat on either side of me.
You could also meet people at the gate and carrying a firearm was no big deal.
I fly all the time and have never personally had a problem with TSA.
I’ve only been pulled out for a random once and they were very professional.
It’s like any other occupation; the malcontents and incompetents get all the press.
There goes the old Mile High Club.
With lots of “I’ll never fly again” sentiment here, might as put a plug in for GA.
Obviously, doesn’t help everybody... but perhaps a few might be interested:
Getting your pilot’s license takes about 30 hours with an instructor, and 30 hours “solo”. Do it over a 6-month period.
Yes, it will cost you a few bucks. But, in exchange, you’ll have another option to TSA and airlines.
A new pilot will typically rent or share in a plane (I recommend the latter); a new pilot can easily travel within, say, a 500 mile radius. (You’ll need more experience and an instrument rating to go much further).
Don't need them to analyze my pooping patterns.
Seats will have removable upholstery that will be replaced each flight. They will be kept as scent samples for dogs.

Very few fat passengers”””
I saw an episode og “Cannon” last night, not having see the show since it heyday, and he wasn’t nearly as fat as a heck of a lot of people are today. I remembered hI’m as being VERY fat. Not even close today...
Look at the graph on this page—obesity is taking off faster than airplanes!

Meanwhile the plane seats are smaller....
Neat, interactive (by state) graphic!
CO has the lowest obesity rate.
Here are some although they are denying it’s for surveillance.
Thanks! That was the article I read and I remembered it incorrectly.
Airlines will make it the inflight movie, of course, you could buy the video from the stewardess or pick a copy up at the gift shop when you disembark.
Seowulf does Debbie at 20,00 feet.....teehee
Come on, man!
Something like that ought to be pay per view.
This is going to be more entertaining than a WWE wrestling match. You might not even be able to tell the difference.
“I don’t blame anyone for bringing lunch.”
On my last — and I do mean LAST — flight I sat next to a woman who loves Muslims and is “better trying to understand them”. (she got an earful from me, but that’s another story for another day.)
Anyhow, she pulled out her lunch which was in three separate baggies. Brown slime. Green slime. Other slime. Gag-inducing smell. She ate it with her fingers. It made me sick to my stomach and I almost tossed my cookies.
