Passengers have VERY short memories.....remember how nice they were to us for 3-4 months after 9/11? then we're back to being the root of all the airline's evils. And remember how excited they were to get RJ's 8-15 years ago so they wouldnt be on those little puddlejumper turboprops?
I just tell them, if you want a real airplane, live in a real city... |
...........................or just drive, walk, crawl.

You'll NEVER see a mainline airplane between BUF and LGA? Funny. In 1999 I flew a DC9 on that city pair. In (early) 2001 I did it again in a 737-300.
Sadly, Rakesh Gangwal used 9/11 as an excuse to darken the sky with an armada of RJs thus virtually eliminating career prospects for those of us who flew small, narrowbody, mainline equipment. |
What a pitiful excuse for a reporter.....

Taken together, it means that a flight on a regional jet is far more likely to leave you swearing off air travel for good.

That line is going to cause me to waste 10 minutes of my time and email this reporter to respectfully tell him he don't know sh!t.
"They don’t necessarily offer the same amenities or have the same service standards you’ll find on bigger planes." This line is even better than the one you are complaining about!!! I know "puddle jumper" FAs are bad, but they don't usually throw the drinks and peanuts like they do in baseball games when they serve!!! What amenities? heated toilet seats? |
Screw em!
Filler! |
