#1 Happened to me on United once.
Louisville KY to Chicago IL for an Oracle CIO conference. Pilot (et. al.) forgot to refuel.
Keynote speaker was United COO claiming 'best' everything.
I was escorted from the hall.

#4 How about ending the mask mandate?

At this point requiring a mask is useless. The main purpose is to make sure you are willing to comply.

#6 I have zero sympathy for any airline. The airline industry went all-in on this covid bullshit and this is part of the cost of playing that game.

#8 You can find a study to support anything. Is this the week Chinese food is the most unhealthful? Or is it Italian food this week? I lose track.

#16 One day, everyone in class was asked to tell what the smartest thing was a grown-up had ever told them. When it was Jimmy's turn, he said, "My uncle told me why they call ships 'she.'" "And why is that, Jimmy?" "He said it's becaause you can try to steer them where you want to go, but they will go where they want to go instead."
