I flew AA a couple of weeks ago. The entire process was a customer service nightmare. While this pilot is correct, it’s amusing having them chide people for being disrespectful. He must have made that announcement before sitting on the tarmac for an hour in Phoenix…and then telling us the plane was broken. And then not giving passengers ANY information.
hehehe... middle seaters, you own both armrests... that’s a good one.
The triumph of the will!
See my tagline. LOL
People sometimes forget that once a plane leaves the ground, the Pilot of the plane is the same as a Captain of a ship at sea.
It must be so. People’s lives may depend on it.
I am perfectly fine with a Pilot giving this lecture. Sad that it has to be given, but there it is.
Flyin this mornin. Wish I were drivin instead.
I quit flying after TWA went under. Best airline ever.
Anyone who acts the fool on a plane should be banned from flying for good. Period...
I strongly applaud the Captains remarks
The C in PIC is COMMAND.
Kinda why I quit and went back to bizjets.
I quit flying after they started strip searching old people and handicaps after 9-11.
He’s the captain of a flying cattle car.
I stopped flying when passengers became cargo.
Or you might try helicopters................
That may be the point, but even ships carry cattle!
But, I get your views on flying. Used to love flying. Now, when I have to, it is a stressful chore, not something to enjoy.
I used to travel a ton for work. Airlines have been going down hill for decades. My driving radius kept expanding towards the end of my career. The radius expansion was calculated based on drive time vs. expected arrival time by plane. There was a time that I would take a 20 minute flight to Dulles instead of driving two hours. Security plus delayed flights and the general hassle of flying eliminated that rather quickly. Eventually, the radius was extended to Manchester, NH in the north and the NC/SC border in the south.
One other thing. I don’t like being served by faggot and fat stewardesses. The last thing I want to see when I am traveling is fat, ugly and lazy stewardesses that bump into me with their wide bodies when I am on an aisle seat.
I’m sure the same pilot will refuse to board his next flight that he is aware has an issue that can not be resolved for hours.
Everyone on the chain responsible for that nonsense of boarding and closing the door for that “on time departure” that then sits on the tarmac for more than 30 minutes should be charged with kidnapping.
If I never set foot in another airport I will die happy.
People need to remember how to be decent to each other. The internet has allowed people to be disgusting and self centered as they hide behind user names.
You never flew Midwest Express . . .
