I'm so glad I don't have to fly on a regular basis. My most recent flying experience was a one-way from Lewiston to Boise to pick up a truck I bought. Flying out of a little podunk airport is WAY easier than some place like DIA. They almost treat you like a human being...it was nice. We had to actually walk outside to the airplane. And it had propellers.
Seating chart by weight? I remember making a flight from SeaTac to Bellingham where we could look over the pilot's shoulder. No beverage service on that one.Quote:

Mrs BG had to go back to Denver shortly after getting here to finish up some work-related stuff. She got to the airport at oh-dark-thirty...before TSA. Everyone was just waiting in the gate area, past the security checkpoint. The TSA guy finally got there and just had everyone walk back out behind the metal detector and walk back through. Kinda funny. It felt like being back in the 60s and going to the airport without all the hassle you have to go thru today. Oh...and everyone survived.
Violent Brawl Between Airline Passengers Caught on Video: 'I'll Kill You'
Remember the old days when people used to dress up for an airline trip...and didn't have to strip back down going through security? Our society is failing.

More of the same with airline employees and the "federal offense" BS.

I couldn't find anything on "liveleak"...
Yeah, like I trust anything out of NBC anymore ... FWIW, the story about the girls being asked to put on appropriate clothing is fairly old now and NBC neglected to mention that the girls in question were traveling on an employee pass and were therefore subject to an employee dress code. They (like most of the media when it first came out) made it sound like United was acting as clothing police for their passengers -- instead of acknowledging that it is a policy designed to control the public signature of employee travel when traveling on United.
