OT - here is why I absolutely HATE to fly any US carrier in the universe. I would go to the ends of the earth with SwissAir or British Airways but God save me from US domestic cattle car class (from the Washington Post): "But the real problem with almost all airlines, except Southwest, is that over the past decade they forgot who they were serving. In a rush to cut costs, airline executives convinced themselves that coach passengers really wanted little more than low fares. These executives talked about "service" as if they thought they were actually giving service. What they are doing is operating crowded subway cars with wings, pushing patrons as far as they can be pushed with small seats, dwindling food, confusing fare rules, and unbelievably crowded and unfriendly terminals." "Yet airline travel has also become the miracle of the masses. Millions of people yearly sit in aluminum tubes, surrounded by thousands of whirling parts that must all land at the same airport at the same moment, protected from minus-50-degree temperatures blasting past at 500 miles per hour, for historically cheap fares. And all but an amazingly small handful of them live to complain about it."
