Well, heaven forbid they would use the time to have a conversation with
you!


Indeed. If I'm paying $250 an hour to fly a tin can, I don't want to
waste
money on conversation with friends, which I can undertake for free at just
about any time.


You really don't socialise much do you. You'll find that your conversation
whilst mid flight would be vastly different to a conversation in your
bedroom, or wherever your computer is, particularly if the conversation
participants had never flown before.

Possibly even maybe enjoy the scenery?


While they either freeze or roast in the cabin, and as their hearing is
destroyed by the noise.


Even the tiny ultra light I fly has a cabin heat, and windows that allow air
flow to cool you down if you are hot! The a/c will have headsets for all
occupants. Most are VERY effective at keeping engine noise down. Some are
even able to let you listen to commercial radio or even cd's whilst in
flight. Next negative response? I feel like I'm dealing with my 4 year old!
"Daddy, I don't want to eat my dinner!"
"Why not?"
"I don't like it!"
"But you haven't even tried it!"
"It's yucky!"
"How do you know?"
Here comes the Mxsmanic type response!
"Because!"
"Because why?"
"Just because!"

30 minutes later he's still sitting there, but guess what! He does try it,
and he does eat it! Daddy was right!
Now, Mxsmanic! Eat your dinner!
