So, would the same apply to those on here that want to use the forum as a soapbox for their own agenda and to bash the airlines, without ever having posted one single actual complaint themselves? And when they get called out, instead of owning up, they abandon ship on the subject, and then come up with some other unrelated angle.

I myself am not trying to preserve anything. I will call a spade a spade. There are legitimate complaints, but at the same time there are also plenty where the passenger was in the wrong, as Silent Bob has pointed out.

If you want a recent example, there was the poster who said that he booked on Etihad Airlines, and had a lengthy transit stop. He expected the airline to provide him with a meal voucher, and got upset when they told him no. Now, he knew when he booked this, that he knew he was going to be there for several hours. So, why is the airline wrong on this?

The problem is that some of the "Pro Airline" folks on here are so hell bent on bashing the airlines, that they don't see common since logic. They just take anything said against the airlines at face value, instead of stopping to pay attention to the details.
