"The World's Greatest Flyers Fly American"

Published: Wed, 05/03/17

It should read, "The World's Shortest Flyers Fly American."

Why?

Because American Airlines is trying to squeeze more seats into its fixed-length planes.

The ONLY way to do that? Yep. Shorten the distance between seats.

IOW - decrease everybody's leg room.

Just another reason I loathe flying. Or as I call it, riding in a flying bus.

I arbitrarily set 1000 miles as my "I'll maybe think about flying" if I have to drive farther than 1000 miles.

And it sucks, too. Because I can only legitimately drive about 500 miles a day. That's 8 hours. So I incur gasoline expense, wear & tear on my car, and an overnight hotel stay.

Yet I still choose that option.

Because the skies, they ain't friendly anymore.

I didn't like flying before 9/11. I hate it even more now.

Lines are longer. They make you do stupid stuff like take off your shoes (yeah, a terrorist would never think of shoving a bomb up his nether region). The airline personnel have a chip on their shoulder.

And now they nickel and dime you on everything.

What's the point? I don't have one :P

Just a little rant.

And one of several reasons you won't see me at many events.

So now you know. Have a great day and thanks for reading.
