Actually, I'm sorry - there is one more thing I want to add. I meant to post this in the last post.
You keep brining up the passenger's rights thing. OK, fine. Correct me if I'm wrong (not that I'll be back to this thread to see it, but...) I don't recall seeing one single, solitary posting where someone was stranded on a plane for hours Isn't that Kate's whole thing? Not having people stuck on planes for hours? And if they are on there for a couple hours having adequate food and water?
If anyone posts such a complaint then by all means, give them Kate's website. Go into all the detail you want. But that's not what has happened. Someone mentions their bag got lost for a couple days and you want to link that to passengers rights and also fit in arrest somehow.
You can't sit here and say that just because I disagree with a poster that I don't think they should have rights. I know your real motivation with this thread is to try to convince the administrator to kick us off. But so far he/she has not seen fit to do so. And while I understand that this is a pro consumer site, I'm sure the admin also realizes that not every story is 100% true. And as such there has to be some checks and balances in place. For God's sakes Butch, you told an experienced train engineer that he didn't know what he was talking about.
Next, is it at all possible for you to back up anything you say with some facts? Like the police state/arrest thing. You keep bringing that up every chance you get, yet you NEVER have any facts to back it up. The numbers from San Francisco indicate that you are wrong. Now granted, that's just a sampling of one airport, but I can't imagine that it's an island in the numbers either.
Lastly, can you lay off of the train? If we were in Europe then the train would be a viable option. The fact of the matter is that for most people the train is not an option. To go from Tampa to Indianapolis take 2 1/2 days each way, and includes 2 bus rides as part of the trip. And they only allow 2 people max. in a sleeper compartment. So much for traveling with the family. The flight is 1 hour 50 minutes.
Anyway, as far as this post goes (since you are such a Lufthansa fan) - Tschüss
