Hope for the best and plan for the worst. Life's works better that way.
What a terrible analogy. If my car broke down every time I tried to get home from work, I would get a different car. If my car got a flat tire every time I drove home, I would try a different route home. If my airline is unreliable, I will try another one. If they are all unreliable, I'll drive.

If my car only breaks down occasionally, I'll deal with the inconveniences without complaining. If I am occasionally delayed by an airline, I don't waste my time complaining in online forums. I took my time to register my complaint because I found the level of service completely unacceptable. Perhaps the flying public cannot expect to receive better service because airline employees and their sympathizers find their current level of service acceptable.
