Flying in the US...

if you can call it that sometimes?  Its more like a glorified bus ride.

I say this based entirely on how people act on airplanes these days.  I spend more time in a plane than on the ground it seems, so when did flying become a right as opposed to a priveledge?  Its a tough industry, and for some reason seems to be the only industry that people arent prepared to pay what they should to use.  We have a handful of airlines here in the US that run on very efficient business models, and yet dont make nearly enough profit based on their turnover.  Its crazy, and as an investor Im not sure I would throw my money at it.

People complain constantly about how bad the service is, yet dont want to pay for better service?

The US has it better than anywhere for the perks they get on a plane. full cans of soda, TVs (on the better airlines) and decent snacks. and all for free generally.

You fly in the South Pacific, you get nothing in comparison, and a lot less baggage allowance.  And even less baggage allowance domestically in Europe.  (not to mention a bottle of water for 3 Euros/pounds.  Yeek)

So, next time you think you you are hard done by flying in the US, think of the poor soles paying more, and getting less "across the pond", and "downunder".

Thought of the day...  You can always drive, it makes more room for me on the plane.

Prediction of the day:  Brittany Spears will unfortunately have another meltdown sometime within the next 14 days.

Until tomorrow, chur bro
