Thank you for understanding. The blind date guy was telling Victoria about the way that she acted. He was aggravating and I DEFINITELY would have cut out of that date early also. Then when she made the comment to the limo driver about "rolling him out," she made me I think that want to uphold the "mafia" image, without being directly linked to it.

The Airline show is insane. The way people act is just ridiculous. So many of them screw up and miss their flights. I don't care for Southwest at all, and luckily living on the west coast I can almost exclusively fly Alaska Airlines. Alaska really takes good care of you if there is an overbooking, and even when I have missed a flight for various reasons, had extra luggage or overweight luggage, or almost anything they have been wonderful. The Southwest passengers that carry on need some personal responsibility and manners.
This is so true! I know that man missed his flight because he was at McDonald's. There is no way that he could have been standing "right there" and missed his name being called. If he was "right there," how did EVERYONE else make the flight except him. He didn't see people walking through the jetway? I am a paranoid flyer, from the airport to the airplane. I don't want to get left behind, so aside from being SUPER early, I constantly ask if my flight has been called for. I try not to leave the gate area.

What's funny is that people think that because their flight leaves at 7:00pm, they have until 7:00pm to get to the gate. Then they have the nerve to be angry when their plane is gone! Most of the time, it's their own fault.

Southwest needs to do something different about overbooking those flights! I would NOT be a happy camper knowing that I booked my flight months ahead and someone else got my seat just because they checked in before me.
