South Park pretty well covered the indignities of flying. On the "It" episode, Mr. Garrison invents 'It', a high speed wheel. It's a run-away best seller, despite the need to insert the rear probe. People say, "It beats going to the airport!"
If you don’t like the service, the security, or the health standards... don’t fly. If enough people refused to subject themselves to such treatment (and pay $$$$ for it) then the airlines would straighten up their act.
A No-Fly List? Count Me In,
A No-Fly List???
Hey, I like that idea!
I want to sign-up for that also!!!
Leave the flying to the birds... High-Speed Rail and Maglev is our FUTURE!!!!!

Hear! Hear! Muslims should be banned from all commercial transport. Let them drive...until the first car bomb is exploded. Then let them walk...until the first vest bomb is detonated. Then let them be shipped out of the country en masse.
In the column of lousy service, here’s one: Flying back from Europe in a plane full of partying Germans, had lousy food and lots of turbulence. Landing in Dulles, I promptly threw up in the provided barf bag, told a flight attendant who shrugged and said leave it on the deck of the cabin...no “attend’ in attendant...
Oh, I forgot boat (ship)
When that changes, game over man.
It has worked perfectly.
The further away from cops, lawyers, doctors and airports you can stay, the happier your life will be.

LOL!
A few years ago I was wandering through the fairly new Denver Airport looking for a place to eat. I was rather surprised when I came upon a restaurant that had a public notice warning posted next to it's welcome sign. The notice stated that this restaurant had been inspected and had a major violation. It went on to say that the restaurant was using dirty silverware. Needless to say that impressed me to keep looking. I have never seen this type of notice posted in front of any other airport restaurant, but think it should be requirement, not only at airport restaurants, but all restaurants. The sign should stay up until their next monthly inspection.
Mr. Goldberg was too polite to just go to his seat, I would have felt the blood and commence to do a Mrs. Tiger Woods on the monitor while simultaneously spewing a stream of profanity that would make today's average teenager blush. Then if the airline decided to prosecute me for damage or disruption I would have filed a law suit for negligence and personal injury. Take that you uncaring industry.
As for the customer service side of air travel I think 90% of those problems would have been solved if the government had allowed more airlines to fail instead of bailing them out. The gates and planes might have been taken over by people with better business skills and better contracts with their employees.
Wifey and I used to travel a fair bit, and at the 'white zone', I'd inevitably take a deep breath and declare that we were about to be "Insitutionalized"...

I have been no-fly for 10 years. I was already fed up with it before 9-11. Maybe I’ll return when common sense does. I heard that the comedianne Joan Rivers was barred from boarding a Continental flight from Puerto Rico to the US — some agent didn’t like her passport. No common sense there.
