Onboard use of a common, benign Aussie slang gets a Delta passenger in hot water: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,292920,00.html
It's time for a major round of firings at Delta.

That was overdue 30 years ago. Flying sardine cans then, flying sardine cans today. I really don't like that airline.
The executives do after you promise them a huge severence package and don't require a minimum duration of employment.Doesn't

BAA, which runs Heathrow airport, has signs all over the security areas that you cannot be mean to the BAA employees or else you will be arrested. BAA is the biggest bunch of idiots this world has ever seen. If you have had to travel through Heathrow in the last year you will know what I mean. 2 hours security lines, only 1 carry one, rude, incompetant, etc. Event eh airlines are starting to sue BAA because of lost business. I will NOT fly through a British airport anymore because of them. I tell you the BAA makes the TSA look like Nobel prize winning physicists.One thing that indicates the usual quality of a company's customer service is when the employees are spring loaded that customers can't swear at them. Could be an indication that it's pretty common that they p* off customers.
Scott, that's quite a whopper! Have you been eating too much cheese?I tell you the BAA makes the TSA look like Nobel prize winning physicists.

You DO know, don't you, that BAA operates a number of airports here in the states? They include Logan, BWI, and Indy, the first two of which I rate as terrible airports.

That's about what happened in my last flight on United. Our United jet from Oakland to LAX was the routine 2 hours late, so our United flight to ORD was gone when got there. We stand in line for an hour to beg to be booked on the next United jet to ORD and were told repeatedly in no uncertain terms that we should be extremely thankful that they accommodated our sorry butts into the last seats on that crowded later United flight because that previous United flight was to blame.My wife and I came back to L.A. from a Caribbean cruise on Eastern Airlines in early 1991. The flight out of San Juan PR was delayed because the airplane was two hours late arriving there, and we had to cross a mechanics' picket line to get to the L-1011.
We connected in ATL, after one missed approach in the fog. Surprisingly they had held our connecting flight. A fellow pax from our SJU flight settled into his seat on the LAX-bound A-300 and asked the FA for a pillow. When he was told there were none, he mumbled something about the service. The FA wheeled and shot back, "Look, sir, we waited two hours for you."
Without missing a beat he replied, "No, ma'am. You waited two hours for your airplane."
Those were not happy crews. EAL folded its wings for good two weeks later.
Oh, great. I'm flying into BWI Monday night and out Tuesday afternoon. I haven't had problems with that airport in the past. Has it changed?

Remind me that I don't want to vacation in London. I had always wanted to go back and just wander on my own time. I thought I could count on Paris to be nasty, but I guess London is, too.Holidaymakers flying out of Heathrow Airport suffer more stress than fighter pilots in action or police in riots.
Heartbeat rates soar to levels often higher than athletes' during a race. And blood pressure levels also hit danger levels, a medical study warns.
The cause... queues, unfriendly staff, lack of information, poor air and lack of basic facilities like toilets, says top neuropsychologist David Lewis.
