Nephew and grand niece were suppose to fly in this morning at 5 am from Colorado. Flight got canceled, now won’t be home until tomorrow night. She has less than a day to recover from jet lag and several time zone, before returning to school.

And rule #1 is why I now drive across country. Those lil flight crews and attendents have become lil nazis.

I’m old enough to recall when commercial flying was a pleasure. An expensive pleasure, but a pleasure nonetheless.

Thanks to societal breakdown and TSA a-hole rules, I haven’t flown in fifteen years.

You may select, but we decide what you will see.

Partly, because traveling is available to the masses now.

Previously, it was only for the wealthy.

Maybe you can buy your own Gulfstream jet?

I flew many years while in the USAF. I used to fly commercial a lot later on for business.

About 5 or 6 years ago, we just started driving instead. I like being in my own car, my own rules and my own choices. So different than what cattle herding airports have become.

hmmmm .... so your saying that only the wealthy can be polite and considerate of others ?

I have to say, that has not been my experience.

I think there may be factors beside income at play here ...

Folks from Southside Chicago and rural parts of Alabama did not fly on Pan Am back in the ‘50s. If they did, the customer experience would be different.

They’re doing their job to keep a hundred plus people from going nutz. Do as we say or you sit on the wing for the flight.

MIBs got to her. I believe what her initial gut instincts were telling her on the plane.

I would rather ride in the open back of a pick up truck—on dusty roads—for hundreds of miles—in a driving rainstorm...

than fly.

“One good thing now is that air travel is accessible to everybody. “

Its also a bad thing
