I definitely don't think that.

Surly internet rep points are what makes us important.

It's also a good Resume bullet point, have seen many a raised eyebrow(s) when Interviewer comes across it.

There should be progressive discipline for those who put their hands on crew members. First offense should earn a year prohibition from flying. Second offense, 5 years. Third offense, perma ban with no appeal process.

1st offense should be permaban.

Seriously this. I know air travel sucks, but if you can’t handle it, you shouldn’t be allowed. We’re trying to have a society.

Flight crews are vulnerable at 30,000 feet. Any passenger who lays a hand a crew member should be prohibited from flying. I’m just not convinced a drunken 19 year old girl who pushes away the hand of a flight attendant should be kept off planes for the rest of her life.

When I used to fly for work, I enjoyed being out of contact with the world for that brief amount of time.   Put on me earphones, jam on some music and read a book for fun.   It was FABULOUS to not be working or answering emails. 

I loved flying for work for this.  If I can't bill for both the the travel and the extra work, then fuck it, I'm having a drink and reading a book.

That 19 year old grows up to be a Karen who calls the cops on a kid with a lemonade stand.   Nip it in the bud early.

Or the 19 year old grows up to lead a repaired, exemplary life. The sentence should fit the crime. Proportionality is key here.

How about 10 years, then? Don't like that? Then don't get drunk and push away the hand of a flight attendant.

5:15 mark was when I realized what I should’ve known all along, her armpit hair.

And likely smells like patchouli

Whoever makes the list shouldn't be allowed on any public transportation and banned from car rentals. Fuck them. 

Stay your ass at home.

The overlap of hippy granola people and right wing redneck assholes is a strange part of the simulation. 

Oh, I don't know it's all that strange, Biff. I mean if we could travel back in time to Boston, Massachusetts I'm sure the folks surrounding Hester Prynne were an equal mix of Puritan shame-mongers and needlework enthusiasts. With social media, the algorithm finds the common thread.

I haven’t flown for work over a decade, but regardless of the reasons I absolutely love to fly…no kids to placate, no wife I need to worry about.  Get a few drinks in the bar, some Dewers on the plane, and uninterrupted time by myself = heaven.
