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!!!
spot on.

funny how the people that hunt around for a $49 fare because they think flying is overpriced are happy to fork out another 15 bucks because they can’t possibly last 50 minutes without a glassful of Shiraz and 3 biscuits with cheese....
Same people would balk at paying 12 bucks at DMs for a whole bottle!
