I’m over at Expedia trying to book flights this morning, a job made more complex because I’m determined not to fly US Airways again. Or United either, since our “United” flight to Pittsburgh turned out to be flown by a US Airways crew.
In principle, I have sympathy for airline employees, as corporate drones have discovered a new source of profit in milking their salaries, benefits, and work schedules. But, as a frequent passenger, I know that not every airline makes flying unpleasant. Here’s why US Airways is on my blacklist:
- You can’t reserve seats until you get to the airport.
- When the bins near our seat were full of other people’s huge carry-ons, the stewardess was crabby about finding us someplace else to put Frank’s computer, even as she curtly demanded that we move it somewhere for take-off.
- Lonnnggg waits for checked baggage.
Good-bye to the unfriendly skies of US Airways.
