Nailed it.  United and Ted are pretty good in my experience.  Also, they are partners or something with Frontier so you are making powerful enemies if you go anti-United.

The problem is really those baggage loaders who have sweet union jobs. They should be fired but they won't be.

opposite day?  Because, nothing says anti-jackpot more than getting wedged between two fattys (not message boarder, actual fat people).

Southwest is awful but I can't pass up paying $20-50 less per flight.  Just can't do it.

They are consistantly more expensive out of OMA.  Weird, I know.  But it pleases me.

Bra, the only people sitting in between to fatties are people who are slow.  24 hours before my flight, when I'm checking in online, I know that I'll be sitting in an aisle probably next to a hottie or someone that smells excellent.   8-)

The last time I flew United they had to jumpstart the plane and came on the intercom to tell us.  On another flight the lights in the fuselage kept cutting out mid flight and on the last flight the plane mad a really rough landing that the captain came on over the intercom and cracked a joke about it.  Then when we went to pick up luggage the people had ripped one of my straps off of our bag tearing the bag.  No one asked me to remove it when it was checked and it would have been easy to unclip the strap rather than tear the bag.  Then the baggage claim person told me they were not responsible and tried to give me a cheap neon turquoise bag that was half the size to replace it.  Powerful enemy or no they are retarded.  How can three straight flights all be that bad?

And you save money because you don't have to pay some stupid $20 baggage fee.

Flew from KC to Atlanta on United.  Flight delayed from 7am to 10am. Missed a tee time. Spent 40 bucks drinking in KCI from 7am to 10am.

Delayed another 2 hours on United from ATL to KCI because of some "Power unit" part that needed replaced on the plane.

Flew United from KC into Denver.  No probs...  From Denver to LA flight was delayed 2 hours and eventually cancelled because of "Parts being replaced".  They stuck us on another plane to LA.  Landing was rough.  Wasn't sure the gear was even down we hit so hard.   Due to the delay we missed our connection on United to Los Cabos. United set us up on AA.  AA flight was incredible and the landing was even better.  Nice work AA

From Los Cabos to Denver on United.  Thought the pilot was dodging FLAK and Surface To Air missiles.  People were holding hands and staring at the floor.  The emergency procedures were gone over again mid flight.  "In the event of emergency evacuation please leave carry on luggage in the overhead compartments." was said 15 minutes before landing.  Horrible banking and lunging as we head into Denver.  More gasps, some strange looks, and holding hands.  Finally bounced off the runway and came to a stop.  Threw undies away once getting through customs. 

&@#% you United.

midway over o'hare? love over DFW? f*cking Oakland over SFO???

Southwest is a sick and twisted airline. And they would never fly to a community like Manhattan, KS. You are not supporting EMAW by flying them.

Two of Delta's main hubs are Atlanta  :love: and Memphis  :love:.

I flew out of MCI a couple weeks ago. That airport is an embarrassment  :flush:
