An aviation industry clearinghouse is collecting data on air travelers from billions of flights — and selling it to Trump’s immigration enforcers.
you mean other than the delayed flights, canceled flights, overbooked flights, luggage limits, luggage fees, lost luggage, destroyed luggage, airport “limos,” airport parking, absurdly overpriced everything, hourslong layovers, tiny seats that are filthy with dried up mystery condiments, screaming infants, and whatever else i might have left out? there’s also the people who, for some reason i can’t begin to fathom, seem to feel the need to come to poor flying’s rescue and “but…the time you save by flying!!!”
nope. if i can’t get there in time by driving, then i’m not getting there. sorry not sorry
You’re free to do whatever you like, but I really can’t imagine cutting myself off of seeing most of the world, simply because of a bunch of theoreticals. I fly fairly often for work and I’ve not even experienced half of those (I’m not even sure what problem you might have with airport limos). Most of those issues are easily avoided anyway, since they are a product of your own planning.
lol there’s always at least one who simply can’t comprehend it
yea. i avoid all of it by NOT FLYING. i’ve seen enough of the world that i don’t need to see anymore, certainly not by flying there. we all make decisions about what we’ll allow to be a part of our lives, and flying is not one of those things for me. i’m glad you’re fine with all the insufferable bullshit associated with it. and you get paid to do it. good for you. i don’t know how much money it would take to get me to ever get on a plane again, but i can guarantee it would be a lot more than you’re getting
its called “a different opinion” mate, be careful, public forums are filled with those
yea. that’s what i have. you should be explaining this to the people who are arguing/downvoting
i dont need to. these people seem do understand the whole “public forum” part pretty well. again: dont want arguments or downvotes? dont use a public forum
my amusement at people getting argumentative over someone having the gumption to reject flying altogether doesn’t mean i “don’t want arguments or downvotes.” on the contrary, that makes the whole thing even more amusing to me. there seems to be this attitude of “flying is just something people do” regardless of all the ridiculous news articles—monthly at least, sometimes weekly—about some terrible thing airlines are doing, or boing planes falling out of the sky, or someone’s cat arriving dead, and people who put up with it can’t seem to stand that i don’t. “a different opinion” indeed.
edit: i can’t forget, there’s also the ubiquitous “if you don’t like people’s reaction, then stop stating your opinion” comments. so thank you for that lol
it’s amazing to me how the list of idiots arguing with you about this just keeps getting longer and longer by the day
