As more and more companies adopt United's "less customer service, more customer compliance" example......

My dad flew for United from 1966 to sometime in the mid 80's, starting as Flight Engineer on the DC-8, and ending up as Co-pilot on the 747 (after a stint as Captain on the DC-10). United Airlines actually sponsored his emigration (along with my whole family) from The Netherlands to the USA.


If any of you are old enough you may remember flying somewhere as a passenger on an airliner as an experience with just a hint of adventure. Now, not so much. It's more like the very worst of being on the Subway, complete with transit cops, barfing drunks, and the absolute pinnacle of Third World Bureaucracies. As a kid, teen, and even into my 20's I always looked forward to flying somewhere. Now the only reason I'd fly somewhere would be a family emergency or to get away from something awful. No good place or thing seems worth the grief of getting there.


As the son of an airline pilot the whole thing makes me sad.  :(
