Good grief
When I retire I'm going to travel civilized and buy real tickets. Probably first class on anything over 5 hours (that's what I've gotten used to
). I want to die with zero in my bank account - the money equivalent of a zero sick balance at retirement. Sooner or later you just need to stop the cheap-ass pilot madness.
Hell, I think I'll buy a USA today EVERY day, too. Just to be extra crazy.
