In reply to the discussion: A story I heard today, regarding American Airlines. [View all]Lonestarblue
(9,971 posts)20. I was on both domestic and international flights on American this past summer.
All flights were calm, but the pilots did make announcements about behavior. No one objected to wearing masks, and I was lucky that no flights were cancelled or delayed. I flew American a lot in past years (mostly for work then) because they offer more flights and if one gets cancelled there was usually another flight I could get on. I even had a gate agent greet me at the end of a flight that had been delayed leaving LaGuardia for Dallas and I had only a few minutes to catch the flight to Austin. The agent escorted me to my gate and said they were holding the plane. I think those days are completely gone!

Much needed since more and more Americans are acting like oppositional and defiant children.

Not surprised, I had to remove a non compliant passenger yesterday for not wearing a face mask.

The soul of America is oppositionally defiant adolescents fearful of having to grow the fuck up.

Booze, 30,000 ft in the air, no escape - maybe loosened up with pills for flying anxiety
