As someone who has been flying weekly for probably the past 20 years...I disagree with all above.

It's all about expectations. Be realistic. Any industry that moves that many people as safely and effectively as our airline industry does is ok with me.

I don't know what you guys expect. Foot massage at 30k feet by buxom flight attendant? You really quit a great job because you were too inconvenienced to fly on occasion? Wow. Just wow. Glad you don't work for me...you wouldn't like that either.

Overall, most of my flights are on time and I don't complain when I get a center seat in row 35....despite a million miles+ on Delta. If you had to put up with sh>> that flight attendants deal with, mostly from people who think they are owed the world because they bought a $300 ticket, you wouldn't be anywhere close to what I experience weekly from 99% of the airline employees I interface with.

It's a logistics nightmare and passengers are a-holes far more often than airline employees are. If you'd rather drive 9 hours than take a 2 hour flight....good! One more seat that I can get on when I arrive early to the airport and stand by for any seat I can get.
