Flying Reminds Me of Another "F" Word

In the last year, I have taken trips (small and large) more often than I have in my entire life. Lucky for me the airline industry moves as smoothly as an anchor covered in sand paper. I can't stand flying anymore. It's not the actual flying, but all the things in between. This ranges from flight connections, dealing with any flight attendant, the wonderful food, watching "No Reservations" twice in four days, sitting in space that would be inhumane to death row inmates and of course the babies...everywhere!

So, with my flight I was delayed 2 hours in Chicago's O'hare airport. I am tired of hearing, "that's the way it is now." I don't buy that. The airlines, like everything else, is a product. If I kept getting hair in my Chicken Nuggets at Wendy's I would STOP going. The problem is there is no other form of transportation that compares and the US government is still feeding airlines like Delta and American subsidies. The money needs to be cut off, they need to struggle and make changes, that's what good businesses do. This will ultimately benefit the consumer and that is what is important. Just as important as those tiny little pretzels they hand out on a four hour flight.
