This is getting aweful.

Today I reported to EWR for a rotation.

Three business men cackled me while I was behind the gate agent desk getting our paperwork. "Well at least he doesn't have a laptop with him" one said while they laughed. Another yelled to me, "we're going to land in Atlanta today right??"

After one flight with 142 passengers, at least 30 people thanked me for not using a laptop and/or overflying the destination. Some people were serious, some were making jokes.

I wonder when this is going to stop.
