Long ago I flew from Austin, TX to Burlington VT in a lovely Seminole I
owned at the time. N2196B; Is she still at Palwaukee? Two colleagues from work went commercial (I was giving a talk at a scientific conference). I beat them. By 10 hours. More recently my daughter left Richmond on some damn airline; At the same time I left in my P Baron. She was 11 hours later than me and my 58P. Airlines suck. Buses suck for the same reasons. Excepting Southwest and Quantas and one or two others. Maybe. Once-in-a-while. Like when you want to go to Australia. H.

Unfortunately, most airlines operate with zero slack in their schedules. Your horror story is repeated on most airlines every day. I haven't set foot on an airliner in 4 years, and truly dread the day I have to do it again. And that is the point. They didn't just have a single problem flight. Every flight on my itinerary was a problem. They were consistently incompetent and didn't give a damn. Quote snipped from another thread, but it seems quite appropriate here : But Candace Kolander of the Association of Flight Attendants union says the airline industry has become too obsessed with pleasing passengers.
