Is lightening a frickin’ airplane by 500 pounds going to do a damn thing??

That’s like me saying I’m saving energy by lightening myself by not having a pack of gum in my pocket.

Smart move.
They’d do better to install power distribution througout the aircraft for laptops and DVD players.

First it was the peanuts, then it was the other snacks, followed by meals. Now, movies? Headsets shouldn’t cost $5.00. Heck, they could be comped. In the end, what do you have? A seat. Why not pull out all the seats, and have folks bring their own? Lawn chairs weigh less, so do pillows.

After you go through the Gestapo to get on the plane you are nickel and dimed to death. I love to travel, but crap like this is getting really old.

Looks like I have seen the airline version of Apes-A-Poppin for the last time.

So I have to rely on Netflix if I want to see Police Academy 5: The Quickening or Beaches, the Director's Cut.

Somehow, air travel has not progressed quite as I expected.

My company put me on a US Airways flight a few months go.

Long story, but suffice to say I had to pay out of pocket for a SWA flight after they stranded me during a connection. It was absolutely their fault and the result of pure and apparently routine carelessness. The staff could not have cared any less about getting me in a full day and a half later. They also made it nearly impossible to get a refund. Forget US Air. Most airlines are in a race to bottom on service.

Good!

I am sick of ALL broadcasts-—video or audio-—imposed upon me in public places.

If people want to listen to music or watch movies, there are little gadgets they can get to do that and do it quietly.

These days you can bring your own movies on personal players like the iPhone.
