A good percentage of domestic flights in Australia are less than 2.5 hours duration. It amazes me that people cannot go without a heavy feed for that amount of time? Most workers will go 4 to 5 hours before having a break which may include coffee and a snack, or lunch. And most workers can go 3 to 4 hours without having to take a sh#t also. But oh no, not when it comes to flying. Let’s say the plane departs for a 70 minute flight. By the time it hits cruise and the seatbelt signs are switched off people have been onboard for around 30 minutes average. But they rush for the onboard ****ter. A lineup of defecators who barely lasted 30 mins in their seat. WTF? Then there is the food - why why why, why do you need a feed? It’s a 1 hour flight. Crew are running about like blue arse flies to hand out mini bottles of water, OJ and a cookie. FFS, eat at home! The snacks on the aircraft (especially) the coffee are complete ****, and the airport is a ripoff!
So yeah, VA may be offering crap onboard, but nobody is suffering. It’s Stockholm syndrome all over. It’s like the wankers who speed up on the road when you finally get an overtaking lane. It’s psychological. They do 80 in a 100 zone and when you get to the overtaking lane they speed up to 130 so you can’t pass, and then drop back down to 80. Same same with flying, people just have to run for the dunnies when the seatbelt sign is removed. Here is a thought, take a pre-boarding crap in the airport. People then whinge they get crap food on a 50 minute flight. Here’s a thought - eat at home before you travel to the airport!!!
