Now you’re expected to pay for your Subway sandwich aboard the flight. Makes it much easier to eat healthy when everbody is picnicing.

I love the Filipino airlines and their notices. “Please leave the life vest behind when you leave the plane”.

@metro – just so long as we are not on the same flight – at the first sight of a life vest, mob hysteria could break out and nothing would save the cabin crew!

Damn! Imagine: instead of the nine-hour-needle-parade of officious badged shirtstuffers and the berloody-inane-questions-by-the-yard (did you pack that case yourself or did you let an unknown stranger called Youssef Ali pack it for you?), coupled with parking charges that oughta include a small packet of lube and a condom, and all the other stupidities and grinding miseries that are the modern airport …

Imagine, instead of cattle-class seating and a “safety demonstration” that could be safely skipped (Ask me why.), instead of getting a “meal” of starch and glucose, and instead of sitting locked in a tin tube …

Good god! Skyhooking would be pleasurable by comparison. Doubly so, for it would include parachutes instead of “inflatable life vests”.

Modern passenger air transport is an abomination, and a damn lie. I feel like attacking the crew every time I get that stupid damn lousy stinkin’ “safety briefing”.
