Always enjoy the way the second the plane stops everyone jumps up like they're going somewhere. Easier to remain seated and let 'em go.

I used to fly a lot for business, and got really tired of it. And after retirement we did some traveling to the UK and Europe and had some really difficult trips to and from. It took all the patience I had. Because of that, we haven’t flown for a few years.
But we will, says the wife, fly to Vancouver and catch a small boat cruise to Alaska. That’s later this year.
Back in the 80’s though, I flew to South America a lot in First Class. I think the airline was Avensa. That was great. Help yourself to the caviar and iced Vodka. Times have changed…

A few thoughts:
1. People feel entitled 2. Lack of patience 3. Some people are just sorry excuses of human beings and should drive vs fly 4. Airline performance (flights leaving late) 5. Attitude of the TSA and gate agents 6. Alcohol and alcohol combined with the meds more and more people are taking 7. People booking connecting flights with very little time between arrival and departure 8. Lack of respect for his or her fellow man I'm thinking #1 may be the largest factor.

I'm just a few short hours away from a very, very, very long airplane ride to Manila, and then back again after a week. I hope I stay free of them.

Never really understood the aversion to checked luggage. Probably the $25 fee. It's getting higher than that now - $75 or more on some airlines.

I think one problem is that our society has taught people not to worry about getting their [censored] kicked for that type of behavior.

People just suck way more than they used to. A good friend of mine, that's retired LEO says "if people would just use good old fashioned manners, a lot of problems would never happen." I think there is truth in that.

Manners...yes. Plus, there's no feeling of shame anymore.

I think there is truth in that. Of course there is. The problem is that manners are bound by consequences. When the latter is lacking, so will the former.

Add in that a lot of "real" men on this forum won't even stand up for many things they see people do which they know are not right and it creates a fertile environment for inappropriate behaviour. Beware the seeds you sow.
