[quote=kalymnos Yes they were HOSTAGES without a simple bottle of water and I paid a FULL fair fee for the seats.

Do you want me to think that the 8.00 per hour FA's cared about my parents or me as customers AT ALL. quote]

how did you know those FA's make $8.00 an hour??

On a serious note, we have stopped carrying bottles of water on all flights that sit on the "tarmac" for more than 3 hours. Starting next year all flights sitting more than 4 hours will have to leave the odd numbered engines at the airport... with all your 121 experience, im sure you understand why...

I looked up the hostage part, and you are right. We are not allowed to take passengers hostage anymore.
