is it just me.....

Of course, I'm still one of those people that's amazed by the fact that I can have lunch in Florida, then have Dinner in Ohio. I think that's lost on a lot of folks. Keep up the good work fellas (and ladies)!

You too? People like us are getting scarce. As many times as I've flown, I'm still slightly in awe of the whole process. When riding in back as self-loading cargo, and we begin the takeoff roll, I still look outside and think it's cool when we lift off. From the back, it ALWAYS feels like the deck angle is much higher than it is; I'd swear we're at 40 degrees or more. Just feels different. Pretty much everyone else is reading a magazine.

When I'm confronted by the super-whiny businessman in 4E, who is red-faced and shouting because the flight is 18 minutes late, or they ran out of the salmon, sometimes I feel like saying, "You a$$. It took your great-great-grandparents FIVE FRIGGING MONTHS, exposed to horrible danger, disease, and starvation, to travel the same distance you are about to do in 3 hours, sipping chardonnay and eating lamb chops. So SIT DOWN AND STFU!" Thinking thoughts like these allows me to maintain a vacant smile which can be mistaken for real concern, rather than puching the jerk in the trachea and watching him choke on his own blood.
