Captain Hindsight Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I love how people complain when they have to wait for security for an hour then fly to Tokyo when it took a few months to do that just 100 years ago
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Too bad United went back to the DOS type system that Continental used. The FAA is no better off with their Air Traffic management. Add the TSA show and, given the choice, I drive!.

You just walked from the ticket counter (didn't have computers to print boarding passes) to the gate. Imagine that.

My first flight my father saw me off at the gate. And I was 20 so it wasn't THAT long ago. Ok, ok it was that long ago.
