If we can have traffic courts and immigration courts, it’s about damned time that we have federal airline courts, and since pilots have to retire earlier than most careers, only THEY would be eligible to be its judges.
And unlike the “three strikes” rules, it should be a strict progression - one major strike like starting a fight or two minor strikes like arguing with a flight attendant and you’re out - permanently. Not just from that airline, but from all commercial aviation.
"If more agencies asked Meddling Kid for advice, it would be a fine world. (I venture to guess some of the advice would be 'Go out of business; you are not needed, and are in the way.')
...not knowing, necessarily, which part is which. I think there's a law that if you pick totally at random, you'll get about a 1/3 of it right, after correcting for the natural tendency of all things to go to h*ll in h*ndb*sket.
A sub comment dealt with a passenger "testing mildly positive" for hantavirus. I had a prof in math who said getting an integral part right is like getting a girl part pregnant - you either do or you don't. Same thing for a virus, if indeed it is a virus. It's a PCR test. PCR can generally be used to show that anyone has any disease you want to pick on that day. It can also be used to scare the media into believing that we should all start wearing masks and gloves and go into lockdown because it might be contagious.
I remember when a guy flew into Dallas, was sick on the plane, & went to hospital & died from ebola & the county judge tried to act like ebola was no big deal! County Judge went to the guys apt, shamed anyone that complained. Two nurses got it, one hospitalized, other went shopping for a wedding dress & he insisted it was no big deal. No other casualties or anyone getting it. It was major news here til the nurse was released. She sued the hospital for being exposed to it. But when covid showed up, County Judge was arresting people right & left.
I have very very few flight plans for my future. I want to be as anonymous as I can be and with more and more biometric shit going on, I just would rather not put myself in places where it will be used. Also I hate traveling by plane because of the mass of people - sardines in the plane, in the terminal - it is gross and disgusting in most cases.
And people, being people, some are going to do disgusting things in public. Like peeling & eating dead skin, taking stinky shoes off of stinky feet, clipping toenails, propping their dirty feet on the side of the seat in front of them, dragging their long (possibly greasy) hair down the back of the seat in front of your face, landing it in your snack/drink. Ugh. I don't like most people on the best of days, on the worst of days after being practically strip searched, Xrayed, wanded, waiting, waiting, then treated like cattle to get into a metal tube - Just No. Last time my BF came to see me, she flew first class - said it was worth it to not have to deal with all the idiots in coach/economy.
I have a son living in Japan so flying (every other year) is life. This Oct we are going business class for the 1st time & I hear it will be worth it. Hope so.
If I never have to go to an airport and get on another airplane for the rest of my life, that will be more than OK with me. Ironically, my oldest daughter is a flight attendant!
I've traveled a fair amount and no longer find the process intriguing. I remember my first trip to London. I was 5 or 6. I wore a light grey wool doubled breasted suit with mother of pearl buttons, pleated skirt, little white socks and probably Mary Janes. One dressed to travel. Grateful to have had the experiences and memories. These days I try to avoid the masses, in the air and elsewhere.
Yes, I remember those days, long gone by. And I am with you, avoiding the masses is a high priority. I live in rural Texas AWAY from the madding crowd of DFW, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. And I love it!
Idaho here, but too many Californians. Nice people, often conservatively minded, but their only frame of cultural reference is CA. They totally lack any self awareness. But Land Rover is their official car. Thinking about Wyoming.
Oh my gosh, yes! Even when they finally get a TX license plate, they leave the CA area frame on the car, and frankly, they might as well announce they're NOT from Texas. And just as the Californians they are, they're so easily identifiable it's kind of funny.
We want to go to Alaska again but have to fly to our land/sea port from Illinois to anchorage. Thought about the Canadian Rockies train option to Alaska. Hubby doesn’t want to fly that initial distance nor take the cruise. It’s our 60th anniversary next year. Anyone done that, the train or both? It’s our big trip to do while we can.
Hey Janet, What a fantastic idea! I know a few Canucks who took the train threw the Rockies and lived to tell the tale! 😂
But seriously, it’s supposed to be a spectacular trip. Hubs and I did the treacherous drive and I had a panic attack a few times. I have never seen anything so grand and magically beautiful.
Great! I’m pushing we do that. (Train). We camp off grid in Wyoming. I’ve actually gotten out of the truck at a couple of tiny twisty hairpins at high altitude. 😱
Yep, we did it last year. Seward to Vancouver. Then train for two days up to Banff. The cruise was just OK, meaning the ports were really crap. The ship was great and only 720 passengers. If you do excursions, pay the money and go with a smaller group. I wish we would’ve done that. I hate cruises anyway, and this one I was supposed to be taking my mother-in-law since she had not traveled in a long time and really missed being able to travel. Her husband had a fall and she couldn’t go with at the last minute so rather than cancel and pay the extortionist fees they charge you if you have to cancel my husband and I decided to go. Banff was beautiful.
We did similar for our 50th. Anchorage, train to Mt McKinley then busses up to Fairbanks , small plane to Dawson City then bus to the old mining RR down to the cruise to Vancouver. Loved it, especially glacier bay. The naturalist onboard talked to us and everyone went back inside. I stayed out on the deck and watched whales breech 😁 whales 🐳 🐳🐳 We just want to get to Alaska and tour around there and go home by plane. I’ve got a brochure for a company that does all sorts of different ways to do Alaska and an awesome travel agent friend. Our cruise only had one stop (Ketchikan) and it rained hard the whole day. I can miss the cruise. Although I could have as much bacon as I wanted. Lol. The outside excursions you book worked great.
Susza, please translate this: "If you do excursions, pay the money and go with a smaller group." for someone who still rides Greyhound. I wouldn't know an "excursion" if it crawled up and bit me on the leg, and UNLESS it crawls up by its self, I'll have no other way to find it.
The cruise lines has excursions available, which they book with local groups at each port. For an extra fee. You can book with the groups themselves for a lower cost, and the groups are typically smaller.
Ahhh, I thought an "excursion" was a DIFFERENT SMALLER cruise ship cruising alongside the MAINSTREAM one. I completely flubbug[g?]nated the entire picture. Resuming my seat near the back.
That’s what we did. Getting into those suits for the white water rapid trip was a hoot in itself. The day we were to bus up to Mt McKinley was a snowstorm so didn’t see that but got some freebies from the tour company. Some buses got stuck for hours out there. Saw every kind of bear in Alaska on a hillside while on a flatboat tour. Memorable trip.
...begging the question, "What's so good about 'river' cruises?" and, more personally because my wife brought up the subject out-of-the-blue, "Can you recommend a few, or any, in the Midwest?" (Or Texas. I'd drive to Texas for one. For anything, really.)
Hi David, A lot of cruise lines will offer one “ Free” Offshore excursion. For instance, one that we signed up for was whale watching It was a complete wanker…way too many people on the boat. The weather was awful, which is not in their control, of course but they can only stay in an area where the whales are for a certain amount of time and then have to move on with the weather being so bad, the visibility was terrible, and there were just too many people. So by paying for a private excursion company, you can get a much better experience on a much smaller boat, where you can get into areas where the big boats cannot go. Does that help?
Indeed! And it makes perfect sense! And it explains, very well, how pricing winnows demand into smaller and smaller lots! Many thanks for the extra insights!
Didn't see any that go around the TX coast yet, but this one is supposed to have one coming up this year, not yet on the schedule. https://www.americancruiselines.com/find-a-cruise or there are always Private Charters! That would be esp fun if there is a group
Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney, and Norwegian—operate year-round and seasonal cruises from Galveston, Texas, departing directly into the Gulf of Mexico. These cruises primarily head to Western Caribbean destinations.
And there are river cruises all over the country, this is one in TX https://www.vtrc.com/?
We took a tour combined with a cruise in Alaska about 10 years ago. It was a great trip, flew to Fairbanks, bused around, train on last day of ground travel and 3 days cruising thru glaciers. I’d do it again.
Holland America does the cruise really well, get a suite, it's a BIG anniversary! Take a lot of immunity supplements and your Ivermectin! ENJOY! Took a flight to Anchorage. But, i bet the train would be cool.
Whew ... I thought I was in the Dog House. My last few Comments the last week had been missing the "Coveted" ~ "Liked by Jenna" ~ vote of confidence. I see I am now back on her good side. 🤣🤣
Sailing out of Seattle was one of the easiest, fastest embarkation process we've ever experienced. And the Alaska cruise!! Amazing. Do it. It was by far our favorite cruise we've ever taken. I'd do it again tomorrow if I could.
Yes, fellow Americans, one way to make your dissatisfaction with the current state of commercial flying known, and still perfectly legal. (Idle question: do odors have DNA content?)
Get ready also for: "asymptomatic carriers" which really means someone exposed to a disease, not ever sick from it, healthy enough to NOT MAKE SYMPTOMS (key understanding), but we want you to FEAR the possibility! Gaaa!!!!
I don't know which is funnier - texting someone that you're about to fly over their house and them responding with a plane overhead is that you? - or you promising not to bite, Jenna!!!
"Mildly positive" 🤣 That's hilarious! Do they really expect this fear porn to work again? Is the general population really this stupid? (don't answer that!)
I love the "Humanity is collapsing but we can still laugh"!
And yes, yet another reminder that my decision to stop flying was a good decision.
My son just asked me this morning on the way to school if everything is going to shut down again. The damage they did to kids is disgusting. He was in 6th grade when the world shut down and life was a complete nightmare. Now he's getting ready to start his senior year and he's terrified they're going to do it to him again.
My wife is claustrophobic, so we don’t fly. I don’t miss it because of The Airport Experience- I’m sure I’m on another list due to the muttering under my breath and general hostile attitude while involuntarily acting out my small part in Security Theater. So we drive everywhere, and rarely see arguments, let alone fist fights, in the minivan.
Well, MY wife told me she doesn't like long car trips because I "sit too close" to her, in the 2-seater we tour in. I'm looking for a motorcycle, so she can have the entire back to herself...
I've flown quite a bit and haven't had any inflight kerfuffles... does it appear to happen often because it is being filmed, and viral, or am I just lucky?
Also, serious question - what do we think needs to happen in order to keep in flight peace?
One more: why was that guy who bit the passenger striped naked to the waist as he was being escorted out? what was going on there?
It's like all the cruise line fights that get posted. I've cruised over 15 times, most of them on Carnival (the one that seems to get the most videos) and I've never EVER witnessed a fight or even people arguing. I've only ever experienced people having fun and mostly being polite (there are always the jerks who try to get on the elevator before everyone has gotten off, but that's not cruise-only behavior). I don't fly much, but my daughter used to fly every month and she never witnessed anything either. I think it's all just a few videos going viral. Think about how many flights are in the air at any given time - there's bound to be something going on on one of them.
I do wonder about perception. Personally I have never witnessed any drama on a flight. We have more coverage now, so the rare events get shared widely on social media.
If we can have traffic courts and immigration courts, it’s about damned time that we have federal airline courts, and since pilots have to retire earlier than most careers, only THEY would be eligible to be its judges.
And unlike the “three strikes” rules, it should be a strict progression - one major strike like starting a fight or two minor strikes like arguing with a flight attendant and you’re out - permanently. Not just from that airline, but from all commercial aviation.
This is genius, love it.
"If more agencies asked Meddling Kid for advice, it would be a fine world. (I venture to guess some of the advice would be 'Go out of business; you are not needed, and are in the way.')
Make me king for a day and I guarantee I can permanently fix about 1/3 of what ails this world…
…and probably further screw up the other 2/3.
😂
...not knowing, necessarily, which part is which. I think there's a law that if you pick totally at random, you'll get about a 1/3 of it right, after correcting for the natural tendency of all things to go to h*ll in h*ndb*sket.
Absolutely
omg that's the best comment today. Bravo

I find it both overwhelming and tedious. I'll have to remember to revive my sense of humor!
Yep, it definitely helps!
This is why nightclubs have bouncers.
Getting bounced at 30,000 feet could be a bit extreme.
I'd totally film that!
@Curtis- LOL!!!
Give them a parachute.
Only if that perk comes with the ticket
That'll totally help them when you drop them into the ocean!
With a life jacket
Oh how sweet of you Tom. Next you'll be adding free swimming lessons and perhaps some shark repellent. 🤣
This is what is keeping me from that Alaska cruise my wife wants to go on. Well that, and having to fly into and board the ship in Seattle.

No can do on the twisty hairpin turns. Yeesh! 😳
The train ride really was beautiful, especially when you get up into BC
Alberta and BC are beyond! ❤️🔥

True. Next time I would just do my research and book those local tours myself.
But there won’t be a next time because I really don’t care for cruises other than river cruises.

Whew ... I thought I was in the Dog House. My last few Comments the last week had been missing the "Coveted" ~ "Liked by Jenna" ~ vote of confidence. I see I am now back on her good side. 🤣🤣
Perhaps they weren’t snarky enough. She likes snark. I think it’s her love language. ❤️❤️❤️
Sailing out of Seattle was one of the easiest, fastest embarkation process we've ever experienced. And the Alaska cruise!! Amazing. Do it. It was by far our favorite cruise we've ever taken. I'd do it again tomorrow if I could.
@Pastor- DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We did the same itinerary last August. DO IT!!!!!!!
The worst part about travelling is the travelling part.
But also the not being at home part too.
Correct the getting there part is awful. As soon as they figure out how to safely portal everywhere, airlines will be out of business.
Tested "mildly positive"?
Sorta "could be", "maybe", we're just not sure...
Not sure... but still, you should be *afraid*. 🤣
...and NOT JUST MILDLY AFRAID either!!!
Downright terrified! One little whiff of those little buggers and Fauci will have the population wearing four masks!
Well, being lactose intolerant, I'm nobody's friend if I've had a rich creamy parfait just before the flight.
For $50, I can be steered toward a less treacherous dessert.
Yes, fellow Americans, one way to make your dissatisfaction with the current state of commercial flying known, and still perfectly legal. (Idle question: do odors have DNA content?)
{laugh} That's one way to offset the cost of the flight.

LOVED this! you go girl.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh, God, this is brilliant. Go Texas Gal!!
Mildly positive means they only had to turn up the PCR cycles to 30 instead of the 50 they used for faking COVID results.
Get ready also for: "asymptomatic carriers" which really means someone exposed to a disease, not ever sick from it, healthy enough to NOT MAKE SYMPTOMS (key understanding), but we want you to FEAR the possibility! Gaaa!!!!
I don't know which is funnier - texting someone that you're about to fly over their house and them responding with a plane overhead is that you? - or you promising not to bite, Jenna!!!
Now you know why I haven't flown since 1983. But I know others who love it.
'83? A little early, but it makes sense now.
I believe my last flight was around 2017. 1983 does sound "too early" for giving up flying.
"Mildly positive" 🤣 That's hilarious! Do they really expect this fear porn to work again? Is the general population really this stupid? (don't answer that!)
I love the "Humanity is collapsing but we can still laugh"!
And yes, yet another reminder that my decision to stop flying was a good decision.

😢 That's truly sad.
I spent a few minutes on BlueSky (not advised) and they were all in panic mode. Someone even posted "I'd sure feel better if Fauci was involved!"
The little I glimpsed on Twitter was a ton of people laughing at the WHO and their dire warnings.
So, maybe it won't be safe for them to be protesting everywhere for every little thing?
My wife is claustrophobic, so we don’t fly. I don’t miss it because of The Airport Experience- I’m sure I’m on another list due to the muttering under my breath and general hostile attitude while involuntarily acting out my small part in Security Theater.

Well, MY wife told me she doesn't like long car trips because I "sit too close" to her, in the 2-seater we tour in. I'm looking for a motorcycle, so she can have the entire back to herself...
Sidecar!
And there goes yet another simple, good fantasy blown to bits.
LOVE a road trip!
Clown World: Ariplane Edition. 🤡✈️ Ugh. Bad ass. 🤬🍑😘🥰

We fly often… and have never witnessed the craziness I see online.. we even fly through Atlanta most of the time 😂😂
Bless your heart.
Why thank you 😂
Your P.S. is my laugh of the day 🤣 I LOVE the idea of mildly positive illnesses haha.
