(You can thank good ol' George W's politicization of all of the departments and promotion of corporate protection for that.) To keep people from finding out how bad things really are, they are doing emergency repairs and inspections on all of the planes, meaning nobody is getting anywhere on time. In addition to that, all of the big airlines are either merging or going out of business, and the ones who are merging are raising ticket prices so they won't go under. There are only three major airlines now. My prediction: In ten to twenty years, only the super-rich who can afford private planes will fly, and the rest of us will be on trains or buses. If I were you, I would avoid flying as much as possible for a while. (And see the comment above for the other thing. Lisa rocks!)

I hate to fly and hardly go anywhere now because of that. Maybe you can get a pimped out bus and travel around next time, like Bon Jovi, or Van Halen. You could maybe take one of your dogs with you on the the road...I don'tknow what I am saying... I guess the good news is you got to see your peeps in Miami. I am sorry you had a crappy day MC.

Tell me another industry other than gambling and the stock market, where you can pay hundreds, or even thousands of dollars for something that offers only a chance that you'll be flying away on time, or at all in some cases. No wonder John Travolta flies his own planes. As for that rude fool in the elevator, just remember that alcohol + idiot = asshole. But then again, sometimes the alcohol isn't necessary. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN "B" lol All kidding aside though, I'm sorry that your weekend didn't go smoothly. Good luck on your next flight.

You say, "240 me" Or "I want to be 240'd." It refers to an old legal provision which American Airlines still honors even though it is no longer law. They must reimburse you for the amount of money it will take to get another flight if yours is canceled. It may also apply to delays if they force you to miss a connecting flight, but I'm not sure. Can't hurt to try! Sorry to hear your Sunday got screwed like that!
