Sat in coach on an 8 hour cross the Atlantic flight on USAir last week. It wasn't very enjoyable. To start we all boarded the plane, got seated, and then the captain comes on and says MX needs to fix the smoke detectors and it will be an hour and half delay and we can't get off the plane. They didn't charge us the $5 for the headsets to make up for the delay . The seats were incredibly uncomfortable (A330) they really have them crammed in there on that A330, they served one meal which was a small boxed sized lunch meal (I brought my own food so I didn't have to suffer), they only came thru twice during the whole flight for drinks (and the prices have gone up on beer and liquor). I know times are a changing but I also fly alot on Foreign carriers across the pond and the service is 100times better. I'm gonna take my family on a European vacation soon and I sure won't be taking a US carrier, I'll take one of the foreign carriers for better service....especially since I'll be dropping a lot of my own coin on the flights..

I agree with you on the service, and from what you said it sounded bad.

Just wondering though, I wonder what the price difference is on TransAtlantic on American carriers vs. Foreign ones.

On an 8-hour flight? That's incredible. I was on a two-hour flight on Midwest a couple of days ago, and they came through twice for drinks!

Next will be a weight restriction on crew and passengers! NO FAT CHICKS!

We need to weight restrict our FA's. It would be nice in we could female restrict them, too.

Don't worry, pretty soon there won't be a US Airways to complain about. This is just another desperate act from a company that's in real trouble but continues to blow sunshine up the employee's and public's ass about how well positioned they are to "weather" the current environment. They're grasping at straws so the end must be closer than I originally thought. In a way I'm relieved because this is just the catalyst I needed to get out of this crap industry and see what's behind door #2..........

I always enjoyed riding on the 330, felt the cabin and seats were more comfortable than the 777. I also thought US air had a top notch entertainment system . Maybe you are just getting fatter??? You will fly the carrier that offer's the cheapest air fare and post another whiney post, I guarantee it!

You guys have it all wrong! Come on! The amount of money saved by removing the systems will allow ****************************** Parker to take home even more in pay. What self respecting airline pilot dosent want to save weight so their alcoholic, scumbag CEO can make more money?

 

[kommutrdog]

$14 million a year, or $3.5 million a quarter?

That's a friggin' rounding error.

Didn't he buy half a mill of LCC a few weeks ago?
How's that make you feel?

Before you get on your foreign carrier don't forget to stop at wal-mart and buy all the crap made in China, then jump in your foreign car and drive to the airport. Don't forget to get your wallstreet so you can look in dismay at the reports of the weakening US economy.
