Just give me the damn controls already.
BTW-this is a Boom Operator seat on a
fueler...not the picture I was hoping
for but close enough.
While I am a regular flyer about the western US I must say my flight back from the east coast was anything but pleasant. I was flying out visit my son and his girlfriend before he left for the middle east..
Bitch #1. I don't know how much cheaper AA can get but to offer only beverages, two times, on a 3-4 hour trip is insane. Nothing like a plane load inline to the restroom towards the end of the flight. While you can buy a cookie for $3 or a chicken wrap for $5 I wonder how much income is produced once the airlines pays the bill for cost of ingredients, food handlers and transport...not to mention spoiled food. From what I could see only a handful of people bought these items, wouldn't a bag of 25 cent chips be cheaper in the long run? I would imagine some chips are given as freebies as an incentive to purchase them at the grocery store.
Bitch #2. Connecting flights. Hello? Do ya think allowing more than 45 minutes between flights would help with decreased re-bookings? Flights, both to and from, were re booked due to backed up take-offs, delay with prior flights and weather. While I can't slight the airlines for weather I think they might,might just take that into account. NO, it's not alright to strand us in Chicago at 10pm! Thankfully, I was whiny enough to keep the agent on line long enough to find that the flight would be another 45 minutes late and to re book for the following day...
Bitch #3. Sorry? Did that word every come into play? Two trips to the airport is just crazy. My son and girlfriend were such great hosts providing transport, and waiting, waiting, waiting.
Bitch #4. No seat assignment when your re booked..."it's under airport control," what crap. If there's seats available book it, but, no... Yes, we like sitting there till 10 minutes before boarding not knowing if we have a seat..even though we've been told so...you have a bad track record AA.
Bitch #5. Last one. If we are booking flights under the same confirmation code could you make an effort to seat us together? Especially when your screwing up?
