Thank you for making my morning. I could have highlighted your whole rant. It was hysterically funny and point on.
Planes are like cattle cars — just shove ’em in as tightly packed as a can of sardines. Once in and off the ground, we are at their mercy. Actually, as you’ve pointed out so well, once we decide to fly we are at their mercy.
I think your many of your ideas for improvement are sound. I especially like the idea of a few extra large seats. Why humiliate people unnecessarily?
