THIS is why we are driving on vacation this year. Flying is run by the Too Stupid for Arbys crowd.

Same here. We used to fly much more often. These past two years, we flew to Disney in Orlando and to the Bahamas. But everywhere else we go, we drive.

We have even considered getting a Class C RV or something.

The airline industry is now a torture fest for the passengers. TSA is a big reason. Poor customer service (or no service at all), cabins and seats that care little for passenger comfort (unless you want shell out 3 times or more for the regular fare), crowds, long lines, etc.

Trust me. I understand aviation. I understand factors such as weather, ATC congestion, maintenance problems, etc. All of those are mitigating factors, and can be dealt with. But the factors that are abusing paying customers are self-inflicted and imposed (both by profit seeking and by government intrusion).
