While I’ll certainly admit that “the ability to fly” is a pretty cool super-power (and I’m starting to believe that it’s going to airlines’ collective heads.
If I had to rank the many problems that I have with flight attendants, their uniforms probably wouldn’t be tops on my list. But when you’re already a decent airline, your priorities can be a little different.
Nothing pisses me off more than getting bumped off a flight by an airline. And not just because sleeping on airport benches is hell on my bursitis. But as it turns out, there’s a pretty good reason for the practice.
As frequent visitors to this site know, I have a lot of beefs with the commercial airlines’ business practices. I don’t particularly like their treatment of passengers, and I find their tone-deaf efforts to make money misguided. But what I really resent is their seeming lack of interest in taking the money that I’d gladly give them.
