AIRLINE EXECUTIVES
PEOPLE WHO FLY
PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY MIGHT FLY IN THEIR LIFETIME
I’m flying high at 35,000 feet, and about a hour from landing in Dallas-Fort Worth. Somewhere along the way, the ole frequent flyer odometer will spin past 300,000 miles on American Airlines.
I like flying. I’m a happy flyer. And I’m completely entertained by watching people in airports and on airplanes.
Not this morning.
To everyone at LaGuardia at 5:30 a.m., Saturday, you made me mad. Why? Because you were stupid. Do you always act like this?
Let me say now that I feel bad for the women working the American Airlines counter. Somebody give them a raise, a day off, and probably a stiff drink.
First, to the geniuses who invented “self checkin.” It was nice at first, but now it’s just a damn mess. You gotta fix this. Get out of your offices and see what kind of confusion you’ve caused.
Pillows. Why in the hell do people take their dirty, nasty pillows on the plane? Let’s see: of all the places I’ve been, did they have pillows? Yep. Sure did. Folks, leave that thing at home. Of all the ridiculous charges issued by airlines, they should issue one for people that bring pillows. And it should be a lot.
Finally, are you always this lost? It’s really simple. Just do what the person does in front of you. If you see someone taking off their shoes, and say, a couple of hundred people are doing it too, you should follow. Please don’t wait until you get to the scanner and wait for the officers to tell you.
This is all I ask of you. Please.
