See, this is why these guys are going out of business. They are stupid. Every bar owner knows you put the pretzels out there because they make people thirsty. Give away the pretzels, sell the drinks. It's a simple concept that even an airline executive could understand. But noooooooooo... |

I'm supposed to start Aviation Maintenance Technician training in June... mistake?
I suppose there might be some difference in practice.
Let's see: between the ''you can't serve anything to anyone that I might be allergic to, on this flight'' victimologists, and the ''I'm such a moron that I let my children do anything they want, and how dare you object!'', and other such sorry SOBs, not to mention the ongoing joke of the 'Homeland Security Officers', or whatever the devil they're called...there is functionally NO reason for the average citizen to fly from A to B for any trip under 2 hours, air time.
Never mind the aggravation; the actual-conditions analysis is inarguably a net debit to the traveller who intends to go more than 400 miles, perhaps even 600 (I've driven STL-Dal for many years...as a direct result of having flown into DFW just once -- to each his own, eh?)
Luckily, the solution here is simple. Don't travel on airlines.
And I don't, haven't for a decade.
