Most of the airlines you mentioned are under a big conglomerate so I guess the service is pretty consistent  Because my bro's a pilot, we fly pretty cheaply. Supposedly Southwest pays the best for its staff because they cheapened everything else down. I'll probably find out if/when my brother switches airlines again. Nothing like the skinny on airlines. For instance, did you know that the pilots get the plane in the air, shove it on autopilot, play sudoku and talk to the passengers and ATC once in awhile? That should instill some faith for you! |
I figured as much! It's still safer to fly than to drive, for the most part.
PhoenixAzul, I anoint every plane I'm on. A long time ago, I had a dream that I was in a plane crash and survived; I haven't been nervous about flying since. My mother, on the other hand, is the original white knuckle flyer!
