Don’t you agree "Flying Sucks XXL" these days … it’s getting worse and worse. The "Cattle Airline" rant from last year needed some back up.
Within 1 1/2 weeks this happened:
- My brother was flying back from Dublin to Frankfurt (Ryanair). The flight was one hour late, he missed his last bus going home and got stuck in Frankfurt until 5 am in the morning.
- I was flying Delta from New York and my flight was 4 hours late
- On Saturday my mom flew (Air Lingus) back from Dublin to Frankfurt and there was a delay of 3 1/2
- And now .. Mike is stuck at JFK with a 12 hour delay flying Delta
Not to mention when I missed my connection flight in Washington to go to the CES 2007 in Vegas which cost me a whole day.
To we have to put up with it? Well it looks like it.
And while sitting for take of on my latest delayed flight I read this story: Oh surprise .. passengers are pissed off story. I agree that you shouldn’t take it out on the flight attendants but I mean .. who else is out there. When stuck in the airport it’s only you and the Flight Monitor or of course the one costumer service desk with a line of 4 hours. Nice!
So I creatied the Flying Sucks Shirt and Teddy Bear… there are other products over here.
B warned though wearing these shirts at the airport might pisses off the TSA or TAA .. not really sure what they are called. So wear them on your own risk.
…The last line reads EST 9/11
What are you experiences? Wanna share?
Happy flying!

Remember that Legacy-Boing plane crash in Brazil and the whole story after this? So…
Since that episode, flying become totally unavailable. Either for airplanes and passengers. There’re people who waits much more than 10 hours for a simple flight between cities. And that’s just because of the flight controllers’ refusing to work.
The Brazilian aerial space are (and probably, it always was) a complete mess. But now, the whole world knows.

Flying defintiely is the pits these days. I travelled to Boston last summer. My flight on Delta was cancelled at the last minute while I was in the boarding area and I was made to stnad in line for over an hour to “see” what flight I could catch. My scheduled flight was 2:30. They finally found one at 11:00 at night!! Once home, I came down with a nasty case of “airplane flu”.
I skipped the frequent airline fiascoes and took a train to CT the next time I travelled. A little more expensive and a little longer but I arrived in a pleasant mood, healthy and the train left on time!!
