I explained this to the pax, which of course set off all the Bush haters--especially this guy--probably just should have kept my mouth shut.
I was also scheduled to fly into MSP that day and had to delay my arrival (ultimately cancelling for weather at Kenosha, our final destination) due to the President. No big deal. Try flying into Andrews AFB whenever Air Force 1 is around. You can't even move outside of Base Ops. They lock things down very well.

Not ME! I do accept that a passenger who pays $9 for a ticket shouldn't expect caviar, pate' and chardoney, but I don't accept the "we owe him nothing" attitude.
Baldanza was right only in his observation that most people are totally price driven.

That's good, but it is the amount they charge for tickets. We could have 100% Load Factor, but if the ticket prices don't cover the costs.....
