The real shame here is that every one of the idiots involved will still keep their jobs regardless.

We refuse to fly with them now. We had 4 flights in a row last year that went to shit and either caused us an incredible amount of inconvenience or made us miss appointments all together. The worst part is they don't even try to work with you. If it's your fault, book the damn passenger on another, competent, airline and help them get to where they NEED to be. You don't get to just parade around and pretend to be an airline company. Do what you're in business to do. They just accept the fact that they suck. Long as they got your money already, F you....

Sorry, can you name me a competent airline in the US?

Air travel has turned into nothing but an anger management exercise over the last 10 years, or so.

I agree, but American is heads and shoulders above everyone else in incompetency. It's not even close.

that guy will get a minimum of $10k for that, because of the publicity involved, I'm thinking $50k.

We stopped using American a several years ago. Bad service and other problems.

I fly United because it's what my work required. They suck too, and are directly responsible for my parents missing my college graduation. It all pretty much sucks these days.

they all suck ass equally. IMO Southwest is the best and most reliable.

They're all horrible plus the TSA molests you before you even get on the plane. Airline travel is a joke.

Not if you're of middle eastern background. Because ... that would be racist.

Only time I ever boarded a plane was for new years to go on vacation to Barcelona, Spain (familiar language). Never had a single issue with the TSA or the airliner. (Granted it was Norwegian Airlines on a 787 Dreamliner round trip).

They lost our Pack N Play on a nonstop flight a few weeks ago. Who knows how long it will take to get my money back from that, and I'm not getting the money back for the one I had to buy while we were on our trip so that my son had somewhere to sleep. They can go suck a fat one too.

Brought extra managers over.. and still got it wrong. :nonono:

 

[Drive XR7]

Yep all US airlines suck.

Ever flown Luftansa or Air France? A world of difference of experience.

Truth.

The last time I had to fly somewhere I flew Braniff from LAX to Kansas City.

Braniff was always a wonderful airline to fly. Always on time. Never crowded. Good food and drink. Very attractive stews and NO male flight attendants (queers).

So naturally they are out of business. And my last flight was in 1994. I never intend to fly anywhere again.

I've always had good experience with Jet Blue.

2 easy ones are Jet Blue and Southwest. Never had a single problem with either of them. This does not mean that people have had bad experiences with them but i have found that they are willing to go above and beyond to make things right in most situations.

I hear airline travel was awesome back in the 50s-70s
