Roy, long time no write! Glad to see you back.
You're completely right about ticket $$ vs pax. Loved flying in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Now, not so much. Rather take a bus -- bigger windows, more frequent stops, same crowd, don't have to get beeped because of "mah belt buckle, dammit!"
Shame, all that. You'd think that even the lowest common denominator would realize when they're boarding and riding a vehicle that likely cost more to produce than all their immediate relatives have ever earned.
Part of this is tongue in cheek, so don't think I'm being sarcastic.
Well, maybe I am, but it's sarcasm directed at the trailer trash that now invades air travel.
Put proper clothes on, don't get stinking drunk before you get on the damn thing, and once you're on, behave.
Is that so hard?
Hell, we used to do it all the time.
Cheers!
