Let's see here... In the course of one trip:
1) After I had my ticket, and was standing in line to get on the plane, I got called to the desk again. I got to the desk after 20 minutes in that line. Moments before getting to the desk, the attendant called my name again. I got to the desk and told him my name and he replied "I didn't call your name". Yes you did Einstein, about 800 times, most recently about 30 seconds ago. He gave me a new ticket because they changed planes and my seat number was now changed. Last person on the plane gets to use which overhead bins? Yeah, the ones about 25 seats behind where you are sitting, which makes for real fast deplaning, which is great when making tight connections... Couldn't they have just told me my new seat number as I boarded the plane?
2) Had a flight crew that was nowhere near the correct gate. Did they get lost? Not a good sign...
3) Got on an airplane (same one with the missing flight crew) and they suddenly discovered they had no way to start the airplane. Over an hour later (all spent in the plane) they found a way to start it... Note to airlines: Remember to arrange in advance for the airplanes to get turned on when the time is right...
4) Plane was delayed over an hour because weather the previous day was bad. Huh? Can I use that excuse at work?
5) Had a flight crew member decide there wasn't enough space left on the plane for any more carry on luggage. He forced about 6 of us to check our carry on luggage. When I got to my seat, I was able to see no less than 5 available overhead spaces, and that was just from my seat! I'm sure there were many more I just couldn't see.
6) As a conclusion to the above, somehow the last checked luggage to go on the plane was also the last luggage to end up on the belt. How does that work?
7) I could complain more, but that's enough for now...
Anybody know of any good fractional aircraft ownership deals? I am sick and tired of this crap...
