I hate flying, always have. Even doped up and getting drunk doesnt help.

<<Remember when air travel was swanky, and people even wore their Sunday best for it>>

Even buisness class and first class has gone down. At least those sections are supposed to have a "Dress code". They should make the whole thing with a dress code.

If it will keep the riff raff off the plane then raise fairs so the "sweat pants wearing trying to smuggle my kid in on carry on survivor watching McDonalds is fine dining bucked tooth born in a barn socialites" cant afford it anymore.

<<people even wore their Sunday best for it>>

People used to dress period. To go out without a hat wasnt done. Men always had a jacket. Women wore their makeup and jewelry. People cant even be bothered now for things you think it would be obligated for like funerals. I have gone to two wakes/funerals in over last year. People in sweat pants, flip flops, jogging suits. Its atrocious.

I have seen people come back from an interview and I ask if they wore that and they are like "why, whats wrong with it?" And they are wearing some matching velour sweat pants and top with some insane blinking tennis shoues and enough gold to choke a pimp.

the stewardess said 'in the event of an emergency your seat cushion can be used as a floatation device.'

i said, 'in the event of an emergency, my seat cushion's going to be used as a toilet!'

from a 1950s book called Wife Dressing:

Once the Fasten-The-Seat-Belt sign has been turned out and the plane has leveled off, go to the ladies' room and take off the dress you want to have fresh on arrival. Give it to the stewardesss, who will hang it up. Change into something comfortable and cozy -- it's usually cold up in the air -- such as a wool smock or some loose coveralls that will allow you plenty of leg and body movement.

and to get a freaking drink on jet blue you have to pay with a credit card! whatever happened to good olde fashioned cash?
