it's an outright disaster.

Prices for flights keep going up, yet I have less and less leg room (I'm 6'2"), I have to pay for a ham sandwich that runs me 6 freakin' bucks? delays, stranded on run ways, canceled flights, etc.

Yeah, I'm middle aged and grumpy, but in my day (queue old man music), we got free meals, a blanket, pillow, a movie and one free cocktail.

Now it's like (to quote my Aunt who was at first a flight nurse during WWII) flying in a barn. (she left the Army Air Force to become a field hospital nurse).

We have fallen so far down the shoot, that even if we now get an extra packet of those crappy heartburn inducing honey roasted mystery nuts, we feel thankful.

we are a sad sad nation.

I fly no more! I take the train now.
