This kinda crap would cease if the wussified American public would stop flying and make it known to the airlines why.
I too am amazed at who still flies. I simply don’t do cattle treatment, cattle prodding, cattle loading, short of impending death.
Fascinating to me the humans who tolerate it. The young never got to see flying done well, so they put up with anything. Scary.
I used to travel every week on Southwest which is my preferred airline but haven’t flown anywhere for the last two years. Received a “we miss you” email from Southwest and told them I’d return when TSA was gone. Sent copy to everyone on their board and airport managers everywhere in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arizona which are serviced by Southwest. Our family drives everywhere on business and for pleasure or we don’t go. Makes for some very long trips but I refuse to be a participant in their gropeathon and thuggery.
What, cut into the entertainment time to fight back?!?
