    Wow, can you say entitled douchebag?
    Somehow I don’t believe that you reserve this asinine behavior solely for 30,000 ft.
    I’ve been slinging Coke’s in the air probably longer than you’ve been alive and I’ve seen every scam, “neurosis” and “special needs” (not refering to those who TRULY do have REAL neurosis or special needs) that affects human kind! I should have my PhD in Psychology by now. Sweetheart, there was no Wifi, cell phones or laptop computers in the good old days, everyone was served a hot meal, sometimes even on short hops. Humans used to dress up or at least put clothes on to fly unlike these days. Also, humans used to have a sense of dignity, say please and thank you and acknowledge my presence as a fellow human being as I slogged my trolley down the aisle. Children used to behave and there was just an overall sense of propriety and manners.
    All this “change in the air” began in the 90’s with the advent of airphones (no longer a thing, replaced by cellular phones) laptops, Gameboy, iPod, fare wars, blah, blah!!!
    Then there was this day in history,
    9/11/2001 specifically for some of you spoiled millennials who don’t remember what happened on that ill fated day that completely stopped air travel in its entirety for a week with catastrophic financial consequences for some airlines not to mention the horrific loss of fellow human’s lives!
    Enter TSA stage right….. WAR etc.
    So, here’s the breakdown of my rant.
    Humans now want to get from point A to point B for the least amount of $$$$. How do you think the airlines can give you all these modern conveniences, pay off all of you petty complaining douchbags not to mention the legitimate complaints, lawsuits, employees AND afford to operate????
    I’ll give you three guesses ……
    If you said less leg room and overhead space you are correct! If you said less staff and or less staff who gives a shit you are correct (mind you most starting airline wages are meek and benefits are considered part of our living wage). If you said soaring gas prices , inflated CEO salaries and TSA once again you are correct!
    Lastly I pretty much have only one thing to say to you Humans who feel the need to complain about every minutiae, crying baby, broken tray table, didn’t get blank….insert here, spoiled, entitled, your mommy and your daddy didn’t love you….to charter your own fucking airplane the next time and let us civil, behaved, ethical humans fly in peace!
    May I remind you that flying is a privilege and is still considered one of the great modern miracles!

    Peace out.
    Sincerely,
    An old Trolley Dolly
