i can't remember the last time they haven't screwed up a flight for me

4/15/2010 6:22:15 PM

I flew with them a month ago. Plane was old and shitty, the A/C broke on both of my flights so it was uberhot. Relatively on time though.

4/15/2010 6:30:17 PM

sat on the runway at ORD for what felt like FOREVER but it was only an hour

no a/c because they disconnected the airport air but didnt start the engines

fun times

flights were always on time except for that one though

4/15/2010 6:38:27 PM

they fly a shit ton of MD-80s

fuck MD-80s

4/15/2010 6:41:19 PM

a few weeks ago they basically came on and told us that we were going to crash if we flew this particular plane...this was after sitting on the runway for 1.5 hours...i'm at DFW now, waiting for another flight because the delayed first leg of my trip caused me to miss my flight to rdu

these are just 2 instances in a very long line

FLY SOUTHWEST

4/15/2010 9:22:41 PM

american isnt as bad as continental. i had a horrendous experience with them back in February when i was going from Newark to RDU.

4/15/2010 9:27:16 PM

As a pending American Eagle pilot, I suggest you purchase many many tickets. DO IT.

4/15/2010 9:29:39 PM

don't worry, i just got home..my luggage, however...this is a mystery

4/16/2010 1:46:29 AM

southwest has the most uncomfortable planes ever

4/16/2010 1:47:50 AM

If you're a pending American Eagle pilot I suggest you get some food stamps.

4/16/2010 1:54:46 AM

I've only flown AA on stand-by.

Do not fly stand-by.

Don't worry, I was a Delta regional pilot before this, so I know the ropes of poverty by now.

4/16/2010 2:23:01 AM

Wait, American Eagle is a real thing with planes?

I figured people were just making jokes about how similar the AA name was to the AE clothing brand.

4/16/2010 2:58:51 AM

Since 1984.


Since 1977.

4/16/2010 8:56:11 PM

4/16/2010 9:02:27 PM

just dont fly fucking Airtran
EVER

i dont fly AA either . .shitty

4/16/2010 9:05:52 PM

i'm okay with airtran, and southwest. delta is "meh"

4/16/2010 9:08:03 PM

Never had any problems with AA. Online checkin is smooth, and their service on board has never caused me any problems. Last time I got a free upgrade to first class.

4/16/2010 9:09:58 PM

there's a certain post i havent seen yet, im not gonna say what it is, but i fully expected it

4/16/2010 9:12:19 PM

I fly a lot for work, this month alone I have flown 8 times and I use American 75percent of the time.
Love them and generally are good, on time and easier now since I am gaining on platinum status.

4/16/2010 9:15:39 PM

^^ gotta be something about the mile-high club...

4/16/2010 9:23:22 PM

I can sleep pretty well on a Southwest plane

I just wish that their "business select" was equivalent to first class. all it means is you just get to board earlier and get one free drink

I'll be flying American Airlines to China and back. I'll be on a Embraer RJ140 from RDU to JFK. Then I'll be on a Boeing 777 For about 14 hours to Tokyo. Then i'll be on a 737 with Japan Airlines from Tokyo to Shanghai.

Hopefully the planes won't suck. The Boeing 777 can't be more than 15 years old (introduced in 1995). The 737, who knows how old that is? They've been making them for over 40 years. And it's to my understanding the Embraer RJ140 is a relatively new replacement to the MD-80s they were using.

So, hopefully it won't be too bad with a 777, a Embraer RJ140, and I'm sure the 737 will be fine to, as it's through a Japanese carrier.

Something about 9/11... perhaps even the picture of the second plane at impact.

bingo...

on a more thread-worthy note, if you're over 6'....you're screwed for as long as your flight lasts.

Flight plan to Australia on two different occasions...at 6'7

RDU to Dallas Fort Worth

" " to LAX

LAX to Melbourne (around 16 hours)

Melbourne to Adelaide

Total of ~28 hours in the air
ALL THE TIME WITH METAL IN MY KNEES

i was lucky for my LAX-Sydney flight where i was at the front of the section with no seat in front of me

I'm a short person, so height isn't too big of an issue.
