The airline situation is going to the dogs. It's actually getting to
the point now between the airlines, the FAA, and ATC, that I really
don't want my family to fly any more.


There's a couple I definitely wouldn't let my family on, though I
sometimes have to position on them, I really don't like it.


Can you name them? My wife and I were looking at Alaska cruises this
year, and the longer ones all seem to require you to fly on Alaska
Airlines at some point. I don't know about you, but I get the
impression that they didn't learn their lesson about shoddy
maintenance after the MD-80 jack screw crash, so I'm real reluctant to
fly on them.



Don't know about them, but one of the larger bargain basement airlines
would be the one that sprang to mind first.. Think over-runs
That jackscrew accident was a bit of a wakeup for the whole industry
though. I know we looked at out lube schedules and found them wanting
afterwards.
