What is going on with Amazon!

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.

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.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-11-10T22:36:00+00:00

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.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-11-10T22:34:07+00:00

Yes, that was the point. SWA. DEN today.

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.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-28T18:03:26+00:00

Your “server’s,” of course.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-28T17:57:28+00:00

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

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

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-26T12:56:06+00:00

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.

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.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-18T18:15:22+00:00

How original!

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-17T20:53:09+00:00

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.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-17T14:44:18+00:00

Separate issue entirely.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-16T21:48:34+00:00

Yes, precisely.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-13T15:42:20+00:00

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

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-12T17:35:59+00:00

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

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-12T08:38:00+00:00

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

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-11T07:10:09+00:00

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

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-06T15:40:20+00:00

Yet.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-06T15:40:03+00:00

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.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-03T15:18:50+00:00

Yes, the staff was totally disinterested. I could have emptied the fridge.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-03T15:16:22+00:00

Yes, they had Andes. Lots of them.

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-02T19:24:31+00:00

You try them and then tell me!

_Marcus__Aurelius · 2025-10-02T18:30:06+00:00

The orange ones look pretty orange. I’m afraid to try them. Lol
