COMMENTS

well in my opinion is about time somebody decided to take on the airline industry!
those stuges who are convinced that once we board the plane we have left our rights in the terminal, it is an outrage that they feel ipowered to the point of keeping people imprisoned in an aircraft for hours on end not one or two but for 9 hours!comeon what in the world is wrong with you all?
and another thing i have noticed that expecially after 9-11 the flight crews have become flight nazi’s whats with kicking people off the flight for the most ludicrous excuse such as a skirt been to skimpy or try to breast fee ones child?am i the only one who has noticed a decline in personal civil rights in this coutry? what ever happened to america the free? if we dont speack up people we will find ourself living in a country that resemble nazi germany more so that the land of the free!lets take back our rights and and our dignity! stop this now!
