There again, day and night of a difference between our airlines and Europe’s.

I don’t want to sound pro-European, I am not but I am good at picking out things I don’t like living where I am.  So bare with me as I point out some things we got used to, we shouldn’t have.

I started flying in the 70s when it was a pleasure to fly and companies treated you with great care.  A far cry from our modern bankrupt poor service airlines.  I remember flying TWA, Pan Am and even Delta, when it was a good company then.  Now any flights across the US will get you drinks and peanuts, eternal reroutes and the abominable Atlanta jungle maze airport.  I only fly smaller airlines tat have much better services like, SouthWest, America West and JetBlue.

On my hour and a half flight from London to Nice, I got two drinks and two sandwich.

I feel our airlines are getting us used to poor service in the name of bankruptcies and saving money "due to high gas price".  Well, sorry but I pay for gas price at every corner of my life.  In this case, maybe they should also rework the millions of dollars they spend on their CEOs, etc, in order to be more efficient and stop hitting their most important asset?  Their clients.
