Service is pathetic - repeated mechanical problems. I hope they go bankrupt,

Every airline sucks -- they're all in duck and cover mode vis-a-vis
their various reasons why a flight can't take off on time.

What ticks me off is...the whole charging for baggage now. I never
check my luggage...I always have a small pilot case I use for all my
business trips. If it doesn't fit in the case, I don't bring it.
United loads the aisle seats last. As I was leaving Newark last
Sunday, the person on the loudspeaker announces, "Those of you who
have some carry ons still may have to check your baggage, as the
overhead flight compartments are filling up." I turned to the guy
next to me and said, "Oh, no I'm not....I'll throw myself on the
ground and have a tantrum." (Of course I was--partially--kidding.) I
boarded the plane with my pilot case and there seemed to be plenty of
room. I wondered if they just needed the money.
