Now that's irritating particularly if you are stranded in an overseas airport.

I have to admit that as each year goes by, my desire to travel by plane lessens... I can't stand the stress of the whole process... It ruins the trip.

I love planes though. Bucket List is to fly in WW2 plane like a Lancaster, Spitfire or P-51 Mustang. I want to travel via a Twin Otter.

"There was no sign of any problem on the airline's website before it shut down"

Yeah no shit.

Over the years I have flown a ton. Wow was by far the worst airline I ever flew on. I'm not surprised..

I agree entirely. For as long as we’ve been flying, you’d think we’d be better at it, but we’re not. We really just suck at the whole flying thing. We just can’t seem to do it in a way that’s efficient and comfortable. It’s always lines, delays, extra fees, losing our bags, asinine and intrusive security screenings that don’t do much, then they pack us onto planes like sardines, unless you’re able to pay an extra couple grand every time you fly to leave the filthy economy peasants behind. It’s just a thoroughly shitty experience from beginning to end. At this point, I don’t go on vacations shorter than a couple weeks if I can help it. The ordeal of flying just makes it not worthwhile for me otherwise.

I hate the shit attitude of most flight attendants this days. Yes, it's a shit job, no it was not the glamorous life you thought it would be, but you chose the job and I wish I could tell some of them to go fuck themselves, but the amount of shit I get into wouldn't be worth it. Funny thing is I never felt like telling someone off as much as a very small number of flight attendants, mostly male and gay.

I love the nice gay guys, which is easy 99% of them, but the ones that are assholes, tend to be bigger assholes than straight men, and for some reason they also happen to be flight attendants.

What are they supposed to do though when their Boeing's 737 Max's are all grounded and no airport will take them??

They only flew A320s, A321s and A330s, the A is for Airbus.

Ah okay, I thought they were affected by the Boeing's.

My bad
