Here it is!!!! The PERFECT reason I absolutely HATE flying anymore!!!! The old days it was "Classy".....an experience to remember....even coach was classy, and First Class.....WOW....those were the days. Now a days......well.....take a look!!! Fortunately I haven't experienced anything near this bad which is a good thing. I'm afraid if I did, the old Marine Sargent Major would have to make a surprise visit.....at least folks on that flight would leave knowing I was totally pissed off.

Modern airline travel is a hideous experience. I liken it to an endurance test.

Steve, I am ashamed to say that while flying to the US, I slapped a bloke in the seats in front of ours on the head one day. He was making such a pest of himself in all kinds of ways and being a general nuisance. I was lucky to get away with it I guess. Nowadays you'd be sued for assault and lose everything  Roger |

Good for you Roger!!!!! I can think of hundreds of bloke's here I'd love to slap upside the head!!! (smile)
Sad but true.....you probably would get sued, however, I'm quite willing to give a verbal lashing to anyone on my plane that sits near me half dressed or bare feet.....and I dare them to make a move towards me.....I will protect myself. (smile)
Cheers,

THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND,WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD NEVER END...the song sang..BUT EVERYTHING has changed.Most of all WE have changed..In fact thats the most constant thing you can rely on..CHANGE!....Some things do not change,and that is our SHOCK to new change...We know today more than ever are People Traveling by Air..Like the demise of the Orient Express on Rail. or a Queen Mary on sea,..The age of elegance is gone..Try a NYC subway car in the AM..or trying to catch a TAXI in all big cities...Like all then years ago Air travel was an Adventure,boarding a Connie. was a moment in class..we got dressed in our finest.The service was impeccable, we bonded with the Pilot and Crew....CIVILITY was the norm....now All gone...Welcome To the Brave new world..a Generation now who no nothing of the past...Can only get worse....AIRBUS once contemplated no seats but standing in flight..May Happen!

As manners disappear when everyone "does their own thing" and language degrades along with it, and attorneys are eager to take the most ridiculous, ludicrous cases to court knowing that a settlement will occur before trial, well so goes the culture. Personally, I barely recognize this country any longer, sorry to say...off the soap box ;>)
