Well a lot of the skies aren't so friendly anymore .. devil

So ..ohwell

What's your fav airline?love

Me .. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Southwest. love Will never fly another airline unless forced by lack of connections. In fact I'd say that's their ONLY drawback, but the more fans they accumulate the more stops they are adding .. *does a little happy dance :banana: :banana: )

They are cheaper :thumbsup: friendlier :thumbsup: no charge for bags drinks drinks drinks (which makes you wonder why none of the other airlines try to save you $$ shades )

and FUNNIER (have you seen their commercials? many times their overhead announcements are even better .. :banana: :banana: :banana: )

I've never had a bad experience with any airline; each has always been cooperative with vouchers, hotel accommodations, etc, in case of faltered service. I always get a great vegetarian meal when offered too.

My very fave is Southwest though! drinker

My grandpa used to fly planes. Last time I remember flying with him, was back when my parents were married, so it was maybe somewhere around 95/98. It was just me my grandpa and my dad.

You should fly Quantas, Judy... See below...


Airline humor from Qantas

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.

The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor.

Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

And the best one for last...

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget
