Well I am sitting here at love field in Dallas Texas waiting for my plane to get here. I think 80% of the flights are delayed right now due to "weather". It is raining but planes are taking off and landing behind me as I type this. SO I really dont understand why my plane was diverted to Austin before landing here. I always thought planes were pretty much water proof. So I paid the $9.99 charge to log onto the internet at the airport. Thats a wehole other thing that pisses me off. $9.99 for internet! Come on. This **** should be free. I guess one day it will be. Its really starting to fill up here in the terminal. There are no more available seats. An d the damn line at Mc Donalds looks like a ride at disney world. I refuse to wait for 30 minutes in line for something that makes me fat and will contribute to heart disease later on in life. But I might wait 2-3 minutes. There are a couple hot chicks around me but none have short skirts like the girl from the southewest flight last week. Oh well. It would be nice to get some beaver shots while waiting here at the airport. I am going ot get my $9.99 worth on here though.

 

Get a pilot's license. Then you can fly yourself. Of course if the weather's bad enough that they're diverting commercial flights it's probably not a good time for a private pilot to be taking up his Cessna.

 

Its tough to find free Internet these days. Just suck it up, its only $10. What's really outragous is the cost of airport beer.

 

Internet isn't free at the airport because people keep paying 9.99 for it. It's kind of like people that pay 3 bucks for a coffee at Starbucks.

Seriously, flight delays are usually because of delays at other airports like our debacle known as Hartsfield-Jackson (Atlanta) airport. The citizens of the Atlanta area want a second airport on the northside of Atlanta ( where everyone lives here) , but politics keeps it from being built. Namely Delta airlines and Coca-Cola. Delta doesn't want an airport on the northside because that would bring in Southwest airlines, and Coke doesnt want one because they have a contract with Hartsfield Jackson to be the sole supplier of beverages in the whole stinking airport.

So there is the inside scoop. Straight from a man at Delta.

 

Still sitting here. Now they transfered us to a different gate. THis place is getting very crowded!! I would go get drunk but I actually have to meet with people and work when I get to Natchez Mississippi later on today. I also think its funny how everyonme lines up for the southwest flights. I would rather sit and relax while waiting. I guess to some people getting on the plane first is worth sta nding in line for an hour. People need to learn how to have some patience.

 

Yup they do, but people are stupid. Dave's right some people have no patience.

I love when they stand up and wait. I went to chicago recently and i was sitting with my gf waiting to board and people where standing up waiting for the better part of a half hour. Then they call my section and i just grab my stuff and walk on by them.

 

yes they call eatch section one at a time. People are crazy! They all fight to get on a plane when you could just sit and relax and walk up there when thye call us.

 

YAY! I think our plane just pulled up.

 

Hurry up and dont waste your $9.99! **** surf away my friend!

 

People are fun to watch. They are just like herd animals. One leads, the others have to follow.

 

Yeah I'll just whip it out right here and start choking my chicken in front of the hundreds of people. I bet that would go well. Maybe that hot chick over there wil help me out.

 

Southwest is different.
They use one type of plane, 737. They have one section - Economy.
They pre-board families with small children and the infirm.

Then it's dog eat dog.
Your boarding pass does not have a seat assignment.

All those people standing in the Southwest line?

The front part of the line will get a window or aisle seat, whichever they choose.
The back third of the line will get center seats.
Oh, and those last dozen or so in line?
They will ride between Miss Piggy and Mr Porker (or their kids).
Also, Southwest has the narrowest seats of any airline (about 17 inches)

That is why people stand in line for an hour at the Southwest gate.

 

Wow! i just learned something today... and that is why i love this site

 

To be fair, Southwest does have the cheapest fares and that's partly why.
Personally, I avoid them when I can.

I bought plane tickets back in June to fly to Fort Myers, Florida on Oct. 3rd. It only cost me $79 each way, nonstop from Cleveland Hopkins to Fort Myers.

Oh yeah... Im flying USA3000 Airlines
