Well, Sport, what would you like us to do? I guess we could have an industry-wide strike against the FAA.
Didn't get to the hotel until an hour after blocking in? No problem, just fly at 320 KIAS below 10,000 feet!
Recently, a hotel I overnight in quite often has been pretty lax in having cookies ready for us at check-in. I'm a fat fatty, so this is an important issue to me. I think that next time this happens, I'm going to tell my FA to "forget" about briefing the passengers on seatbelt usage.
