Filthy airplanes
I have discussed this before, but just flew Delta PDX-ATL-BMI RT and
had *the* filthiest airplane I have ever seen. It was a CRJ-200 - everything around the seats was covered in grime. The floor was disgusting, the controls for the lights were grimy. Crap in the seat pockets - Yuck! Then flying the last leg from ATL-PDX tried to use the bathroom to change my son's diaper. No changing table, and the toilet seat cover and floor was covered in urine. I opened the door to the lav and asked the FA if they had anything to clean up urine with. The answer: "Use a paper towel!" I was horrified. So I squirted some soap on a paper towel and cleaned the **** up, opened the toilet and there was BLOOD on the toilet seat. Utterly disgusting! Why the **** don't the flight attendants have sanitizing cleaners to use in the bathrooms? This is beyond disgusting. Delta is getting a nice letter from me in the mail.... -L. |

The thing that's really "Yuck!" is the fact that you are dragging around a toddler on a plane. Why didn't you just leave it at home with somebody? It's much too young to get any "enjoyment" out of a trip... No changing table, and the toilet seat cover and floor was covered in urine.

Why the **** don't the flight attendants have sanitizing cleaners to use in the bathrooms? Because that's the job of the CABIN CLEANING CREW, they'll clean the loos when the plane is turned around... And if you were HALF as smart as you claim to be you'd ALWAYS take along along a bunch of handi - wipes or whatever for clean - up. Heck, every time I leave the house I have my backpack and it is "stocked" with a bunch of handi - wipes, a tube of that spray sanitizing cleanser, and lotsa tissues. Buses, handrails, door knobs, etc. are FILTHY and one has to think and plan "pro - actively" in the matters of hygiene. Planes especially can be fairly filthy environments, you should know this... This is beyond disgusting. Delta is getting a nice letter from me in the mail.... Yawn...they'll get a good laff outta THAT one... -- Best Greg |

Is rec.travel.air the only place where you wrote about this problem? What would make sense is to write to Delta's CEO via snail mail to complain. I seriously doubt the senior officers at Delta read this newsgroup. |

It seems the poster has already thought of your idea. |

Many airlines, particularly those that fly intercontinental flights, require cabin crews to make regular checks of the bathrooms, and tidy them up. Crews on shorter flights tend to get pretty lax about it. |

Then flying the last leg from ATL-PDX tried to use the bathroom to change my son's diaper. No changing table, and the toilet seat cover and floor was covered in urine. The FAs aren't psychic, and probably didn't know about the situation until you told them. I opened the door to the lav and asked the FA if they had anything to clean up urine with. The answer: "Use a paper towel!" You apparently ASKED if they had anything to clean it up with, instead of asking them to clean it up, to do which they are explaining to you, would involve the use of a "paper towel". I was horrified. So I squirted some soap on a paper towel and cleaned the **** up, "****" is actually quite harmless in reality, composed of very finely filtered substances. Being a water-based fluid, you need not have used soap to clean it up. opened the toilet and there was BLOOD on the toilet seat. Utterly disgusting! Why the **** don't the flight attendants have sanitizing cleaners to use in the bathrooms? Probably because over-"sanitizing" our world is one of the best known ways to create super bugs. Staph-A probably wouldn't exist if it weren't for hospitals... This is beyond disgusting. Delta is getting a nice letter from me in the mail.... -L. In biology, we tend to use the maxim "the world is covered in a thin layer of faeces" - (probably a lot of other things mixed in there as well). I guess some aircraft seem to have thicker layers than you're used to!?! |

It was pretty freaking obvious what I was asking. I am holding a 30-lb 2 year old toddler and there's **** *everywhere* which they clearly saw. Honestly, I wouldn't even have been quite as disgusted had they been able to hand me a bottle of sanitizer. The fact is, they did NOTHING and had NOTHING with which to clean up the mess. I was horrified. So I squirted some soap on a paper towel and cleaned the **** up, "****" is actually quite harmless in reality, composed of very finely filtered substances. Being a water-based fluid, you need not have used soap to clean it up. Maybe you want to stand on ****-covered floors but I don't and I don't want my son to do so, either. opened the toilet and there was BLOOD on the toilet seat. Utterly disgusting!

Staph-A probably wouldn't exist if it weren't for hospitals... Blood is a health and safety risk. The flight attendants need to have some sort of sanitizer for cleaning up such messes. There is no excuse. -L. |

You went to China to adopt some kid like the rest of us would go to a pound to adopt a kitten or a puppy or to Best Buy to buy a teevee, I guess all the US - born kids who very badly need homes weren't quite "up to snuff" for you so to speak. This marks you as another "Look at MEEEEEEEEEE...!!!" breeder...with NO regard to those around you. I surely feel sorry for your kid... You sound like you have some kind of "anger managment" issue and I'm sure it won't be too long before Child Protective Services comes a - knockin' at yer door... -- Best Greg |

Not that it matters to me - or that you'd know the difference. You went to China to adopt some kid My son is American. African American. So I guess that blows your theory. like the rest of us would go to a pound to adopt a kitten or a puppy or to Best Buy to buy a teevee, I guess all the US - born kids who very badly need homes weren't quite "up to snuff" for you so to speak. This is really cherry in light of the truth...LOL... This marks you as another "Look at MEEEEEEEEEE...!!!" breeder...with NO regard to those around you. I surely feel sorry for your kid... I feel really glad you don't have any.

Looking in the mirror again, Rump Ranger? -L. |
