With all due respect Fred, Continental has its faults, but the service is NOWHERE near as surly as US Airways (combining the worst of Allegheny, Piedmont, and America Worst) or Delta. Have zero complaints about Continental myself, except for the interminable delays when you fly out of Newark during the week.

Haven't flown Mexicana in awhile, but had some lovely attendents when I did.

Fave airlines are Lan, Cathay, and Emirates, the latter of which I flew only once. Had a VERY negative experience on Ryanair, so they are on my personal sh-tlist right now.

I just booked my fall vacation to Spain this year. Although I swore I would never fly them again, I found a $425 round trip to Madrid from PHL. The worst airline flying out of the worst (US) airport, but the price was right.

I've thought of creating a "frequent flier" pinglist, but can't maintain it due to, uh, frequent business trips.

In the 1970’s and 80’s I flew a lot...a whole bunch. I recall just such an incident happening at the hands of a “Stewardess” once. The pilot was male, but I guess he could have cared less. I was ticked at the attitude, but I wanted to get on to my destination and take care of business, so shined it on.

Stew? LOL! Haven’t heard anyone say that since the 1970s.

This is why girls can’t live with their mothers. Ususally, mothers hide this side of themselves from the boys. Your pilot must be going through, hmmm, middle age and her control slipped.

All daughters know this side of mom and they roll their eyes in disgust as their brothers live their cushy lives in ignorance of the real woman who mothers them all!

My Continental schedule shows that the airplane that day was a Boeing 737; not an Embraer.

What else is the writer confused about on this story????
