Continental, the airline without a heart

"Flight Attendant" covers male & female attendants on the flight. You have to live in the USA to see the total effect of "Political Correctness" No matter what is said, *someone* will be offended. Years ago, I was half Indian. Today, I'm half Native American. It's a new cult, the cult of being 'offended'. If people are so delicate that they go into palpitations when they hear a word that they wish to approve of, then such persons should remain at home with the curtains closed avoiding plebvision and the radio. It is a completely bogus way of trying to pretend to some moral superiority - call their bluff and point out that you are deeply offended by morons who presume to tell you what words you can use inform them that your level of offense is far deeper than theirs. Let them put that in their pipes and smoke it. The changes to 'Red Indian' are funny too. Of course it was a mistake to begin with, with Columbus thinking that he'd got to India, rathe than America. Now the 'Native American' is another mistake, because everybody born on the continent of America is a 'Native American' - just as I'm a Native African. Oh, dear, what foolishness comes from preciousness! |

While not a FF by today's standards, I did log about 10K with them last year and generally find their service to be superior to most of the others. That said, even if you're an elite-level traveler, all it takes is one bad experience for you to switch to another carrier unless you're in a city that's a fortress hub. After all, a seat's a seat; what differentiates airlines should be the service and amenities. Who would want to be a frequent flyer by 'today's standards'? It means that you spend far too much time in iron budgies to be able to claim that you've got a decent job - people with genuinely good jobs can decide what they wish to do with their time and few intelligent ones choose to spend it in over-sized cigar tubes. The extra cosmic rays are bad for you, let alone the low oxygen levels, and DVT potential from the inactivity. You might as well take up smoking instead... You're right, of course, about the service. Emirates is going from strength to strength just on the back of it - the difference between BA's business class and Emirates business class is amazing, even though Emirates hasn't got the pig pens it is a better journey because you feel properly looked after. |
