No, I am not joking and no I am not 12 years old and who ever said that I throw some kind of fit at the gate?
Look, you didn't listen to what I am saying. I don't care about the FAA regulations, and I'm not talking about getting hurt while standing during a flight.
In the past 10 months, I have flown about 100,000 miles, which means that I fly a lot. I understand there are rules, and I am not saying that I am above them. What I was saying is the whole thing is ridiculous and outdated.
About the smoking: My thing here is HOW could I possibly smoke on an airplane when TSA has made it impossible for me to get a lighter or matches on board an airplane? That's what I thought, so let's save 5 minutes of my day and skip that part.
Now lets look at the seatbelt issue: Am I saying I should not have to wear one? No, I am not. What I am saying is that I have a brain cell and I do not need to hear every single week, HOW to buckle the thing. Do you know how stupid this is?
You talk about the laws and my ignorance and you are missing the whole point. The point is that if you can't figure out on your own, without a 5 minute speech HOW to use a seatbelt, then you should not be allowed to fly on an airplane period!
Now about the Ipod. This is serious too, I don't know why you think I am posting for some stupid laugh...I fly a lot, I deal with the same crap twice a week, and it's ridiculous. So with that, I understand that "portable electronic devices, such as laptops, cell phones (blackberry, blueberry, strawberry) need to be turned off and stowed at this time." I get it dude!
I'm not saying that I can do what I want, and everyone else should do as they are told. What I am saying is that they are really irritating about how they tell you to turn it off. You are looking out the window or looking ahead and someone comes up to you, taps you on the shoulder and points to the ipod.
That is fine, but I find this scenario to not be the norm, and these people get excessive and point like some kind of cartoon character, as if the plane will crash with my Ipod on.
I am pointing out simple things to most, but to the weekly traveler these things are stupid and very annoying, and if the speech was a minute or two, fine, but I swear it gets longer every week, and I know what to do, so listening makes me nuts already.
Will an Ipod crash a plane? Of course it wont, and you know that. Airlines are messing around right now with having wireless internet on board certain planes. Some planes have the little TV sets in each seatback and the display stays on during takeoff and landing.
I am not an airplane engineer, but that does tell me that an electronic device isn't going to mess with the equipment. Also, I know someone who worked as a flight attendant for a while not very long ago.
The pilots know that you can leave your phone on and it will not mess with anything, so you need to chill the hell out dude! Do I leave my phone on? No I don't, I follow the rules because I don't want a goddamn hassle on my flight, but I do see that the rules are insanity at best, and the whole system from check-in to landing needs an overhaul because there are problems, and if you don't agree with that, then you don't fly enough.
I'm sorry if being "12 years old" and knowing that I could make changes in the airline industry that would make everyones experience flying better may scare you, because I sound so stupid according to you, but the fact is I could do it.
This is my whole point, which is this stuff is not that hard and the industry makes it into something so unpleasant it's a nightmare.
Look at how we board an airplane, and how long it takes these morons to just SIT DOWN. Me, I find my seat, and I sit down, and my seatbelt is on 20 minutes before anyone is telling me to put it on. See, I am ready to go, not ready to be told what to do.
Are you aware that something as simple as the way people board an aircraft would make things so much easier on everybody, but we don't even try anything new? We just do the same old thing, board from the rear, which gives no incentive to just find your seat and sit down.
Ok, I'm done with this, if you don't get it that's fine with me. I will never be thrown out of an airport because I don't make scenes on airplanes. I'm not stupid, I am frustrated so I typed it out. See the difference? Instead of being a **** like most people and throwing a fit ON the plane, I sit quietly, do as I am told and I come here and post about how stupid it is. It's called letting off steam dude, so write all day about how stupid I am because I know how to fasten a seatbelt and I know that you can't smoke on an airplane REGARDLESS of whether I am told or not!
In the end, a form of an IQ test should be given to all individuals that want to ever fly. Not a traditional test, but a test where someone answers questions like "do you know how to fasten a seatbelt?" Or "do you think farting on a sealed airplane is cool to do?" Or how about "with all of the smoking in public laws around today, do you think that smoking on an airplane is something that you may try to do?".
ANYONE who misses these questions will then fail the test, and they will have to wait a minimum of 10 years before they can fly. This way, I get to fly hassle free from these morons, and the speech goes away, and people can get off an airplane in a good mood, instead of exhausted because of what they had to put up with for hours.
Fact is, you don't get it at all. You saw an opportunity to call me 12 years old, and you took it without understanding what you are talking about, or taking into consideration that I flew 5000 miles a week for 7 straight months, so I know how certain things work in an area where I once knew nothing.
Ok, your turn to tell me about how the previous 20 paragraphs are written by a 12 year old idiot, and in the meantime why don't you do some constant, weekly flying and get back to me when you are so annoyed with the system that you see that you, a person with no experience in running anything related to an airline become convinced that you could do it better.
Until that happens, comment away but you don't know what you are talking about.
