Now people think it's a form of Public Transportation where any Tom, Dick and Harry can do whatever they want.

I've flown a little, even have a fancy pilots license and dealing with the public like the airlines do would suck. No one will ever be happy in today's entitlement society.


And the airlines put Tom, Dick and Harry in a "basic economy" where you now have to pay for the right to use an overhead bin, to check luggage, to get a pillow or blanket, headphones or a drink.

screw airlines, you treat people like cattle, expect them to act like it.


have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
