In my opinion, I believe that airport service and airplane service has gone down in this year alone. I'm not sure how long ago they did this, but they now charge you to buy food on a plane. (The planes that go from state to state, not international flights). I remember those days, when I was able to get some pretzels when I was hungry, and I could sip it down with some refreshments. I enjoyed eating the food, and I wish they would give the food free.
Also, the recent plane rides that my parents have taken, they've told me that their experiences have been worse. Their plane was delayed by three hours, because the pilot who was supposed to be driving the plane was delayed in another flight. Is there a shortage of pilots? Also, the pilot didn't come so they canceled the flight and they had to rebook a new flight and had to pay more money.
Also, my parents went on another plane and they were forced to sit in the back so that the plane would be "balanced". No one was supposed to sit in the middle, they could only sit in the front or the back. I guess they aren't improving planes because the gas pricces for the planes are getting higher and higher.
Have any of you been in the same situation as my parents? Also, how do you feel about this? |

It takes years to build a plane, so it's hard to keep up with the technology, I heard. |

I think the reason that the flights are all delayed lately is because, instead of carrying out their inspections on the regular basis, they do them all at once when under pressure. |

When I flew to Ohio, a few of the flight attendants were really stressed out and uptight. We did get free food and refreshments, though. I'm flying again on the 28th this month to Ohio again, as well. |

The General was on a Continental plane a few days ago to visit Grandpa Guy and Grandma Girl. I had no problems, other than the unacompanied minors crew was a bit harsh. I would have had my Shy Guy escort take care of 'em, but they got put in baggage.
But i've heard of bad service as of late. The General blames it on all the airlines joining together. |

OMG. D= Not good news for me. I'm planning on taking a plane next month to go see Dragus. CRAP. >.<;
I have noticed that they have been a bit...Umm...chaotic if you ask me. I had to take a plane a few months ago and my flight was delayed for a hour. Not much of a difference, but still. T__T Not cool. But of course. That doesn't happen all the time so...But I did get free snacks and drinks. =3
I REALLY hope nothing gets delayed when I go. >.<; |

Planes have been a big time scandal on the media round here. It was a phase called the "Aerial Chaos". Things that happened because of stuff such as the main airport doesn't attend all the stuff a pilot needs for safety, lots of strikes went on, politicians were being lazy about it shamelessly, etc.
And the biggest problem? It's still up in the air but nobody gives a damn just because all the media wants to talk about now is Isabela's death and Ronaldo's trouble with crossdressers. Ugh, I hate you, *crag* media. ]: |

I heard it was about Gas prices. There so high, that now they're not getting any profit from all this stuff so they jack the prices up on everything. And less people will be willing to travel also, due to the gas prices =O Why go somewhere anymore? |
