I liked the videos over all, and I despise being "PC" in any and all forms, as well as like to "laugh at myself" or whatever, but I too thought that was a bit of a semi-serious dig at us. Especially with it being the last thing they see on the video and if its a short taxi, just moments before power-up on the runway as they all think "guess they pushed that button".

But whatever. Again, good effort over all. Did anyone see the NYC commercial Delta "NY Anthem" TV Ad - YouTube where the F.O. who lives in Manhattan takes a yellow cab to work while only bringing a bag barely big enough for his hat and McRib because he KNOWS he's not getting rerouted or anything? I mean is that not just

or what?
