Taking A Stand

Apr 12, 2010

Not to keep on bashing the airlines, but …OK, yeah, I’m bashing the airlines. They deserve it. They bring it on themselves and frankly, I’m tired of being mistreated. Even if the flight’s on time and I do get my Diet Coke before landing, the frill-less, kind-less and effort-less experience we are subjected to these days are worthy of some bashing.

Give us some legroom!

Let us recline!

Stop nickle-and-diming us with surcharges, fees, add-on and taxes we never heard of.

Flight Attendants; you are cordially invited to please be lazier. Its less of an effort to smile than it is to frown.

Gate Agents; you, too, are cordially invited to be lazier. Its quicker to say ‘let me see what I can do for you’ than it is to deal with the after-effect of a quick NO!

Baggage Handlers: You can get to your smoke break a lot quicker if you treat our luggage with as much respect as you’d care for us to treat yours. Think about how much quicker you can load the plane if you didn’t have to pick up all the broken pieces of that suitcase you just tossed onto the conveyor belt…and missed, causing it to literally fly to the ground.

Speaking of….I bet United Airlines wished they had this moment-in-time, back-in-time to avoid this youtube video that has has over 8 million hits. Enjoy…and then, I propose that we all take a stand. Call a congressman, make a youtube video, send letters…do whatever you can to stop this harassment and give us back our dignity while flying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo

You hear this Spirit Airlines- who just started charging for carryon bags??? That rule just don’t fly!
