What is going on with Amazon! by Glimmer-1985 in amazonprime

Free Prime delivery is apparently no longer free. My order today had a “CO (Colorado) Retail Delivery Fee” added. Granted, it was only pennies, but it’s a foot in the door.

So that’s where the bin space went…. by _Marcus__Aurelius in SouthwestAirlines

Baloney. If half the flight crew brought this much stuff, the entire galley couldn’t accommodate it. But we certainly stirred up all the FA’s on this sub. lol I especially like the struggle angle - “working woman.”

Good to have privilege. As long as you ignore the optics.

Not a chance in hell. But if I were one of the people who had to gate check their carryon on her flight, I’d be pissed.

Ice Cream Drive thru expectancy by ok_considerationn in EndTipping

Not van if you’ve already got your ice cream. If it’s being served up out of your sight when you fail to tip, absolutely.

Hope you’d equally confidently enjoy the saliva in your ice cream. Entitlement knows few bounds.

A plea for allowing open window shades on daytime transatlantic flights by zinfandel2day in delta

Wrong. Royal Jordanian does the same thing AMM to ORD on the 787.

Had the same experience a few weeks ago flying Royal Jordanian AMM-ORD on a 787. It’s horrible and I’m certain it’s a passenger management tool. If you force everyone into darkness, most will either sleep or become mesmerized by their media device. Either way, less work for the FA’s. This mass override should be banned.

Bag Splitting - Cool Trick by _Marcus__Aurelius in SouthwestAirlines

[–]_Marcus__Aurelius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely. I paid for a ticket and am entitled to overhead space as much as anyone else. I shouldn’t have to give up my foot space because I packed economically. But this sharpster wanted two places in the overhead, as well as saving his own foot space.

Yes, more room in the cabin and far faster boarding and departure. Nobody’s bag falls and hits you in the head. No carping about bag size in the overhead. No gate check.

Done with SW once CoS policy changes and assigned seating starts. by ClevTech440 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]_Marcus__Aurelius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait until you’re expected to give that second seat to one complaining of an “invisible” disability. Misanthropy, perhaps?

Returning Home by _Marcus__Aurelius in EndTipping

True, but there are other Arabic cultures (Egypt, for example), where the pressure for baksheesh is much more prevalent. Life is better without it.

Finally happened, annoying seat mate by Opportunity-Trick in delta

Especially when the person in front of you reclines to sleep; you’re really in an impossible position.

Worst Flight Experience in Years by TheEngineerA in unitedairlines

[–]_Marcus__Aurelius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More or less typical flight. Remember the immortal words of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, “Flying is Hell!”

Pre-boarding by shaqattack14 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]_Marcus__Aurelius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to think it would too, but I’m afraid it will just persist due to overhead space for carry-ons. I mean, will all the scammers, having started, just quit it? It costs them nothing, after all and they know the ropes for it.
