You may have heard that the DoJ recently backed out of suing over the American-US Airways merger. It seems that there was a reason for DoJ's perceived butthurt: It was all about landing slots at Washington National and, to a lesser extent, LaGuardia in NYC.. In essence, as long as the Chattering Class had their choices of airline service to and from KDCA and KLGA, fuck the rest of us.
Speaking of US Airways, one of the many baby-storm troopers who now serve as flight attendants kicked a blind guy and his service dog off a flight. The rest of the passengers then also got off the flight.
Of course, US Airways' spokesweasels then released its side of the story, and some outlets just lapped that shit up.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
I love it when the passengers rise up and refuse to be bullied and treated like cattle.
ReplyDeleteYears – and years and years – ago, I was on a British Airways (British Airlines? BOAC?) flight from Bermuda to New York that for some reason was delayed after we all boarded. We taxied out on the runway and sat in the tropical sun, air conditioning off, for about two hours while the temperature rose to near-oven uncomfortability.
After a while, passengers began to complain. Instead of suffocating us, why wouldn't the airline taxi back to the terminal? No dice. I don't remember the reason, but it was in the airline's self interest not to do it.
Passengers began to yell. They began to chant. They began to scream.
Finally, the flight attendant got on the whatever it is and said into the microphone, in her clipped upperclass London accent, "Oh, qhy don't you all shut up!"
That taught us a lesson!

It certainly makes sense to allow the two airlines with the worst customer service to merge.
