I remember when we used to get dressed up to fly on a plane....

I remember a flight to Malaga, Spain where i was allowed to go visit the cockpit and have a chat with the captain. Not much chance of that happening these days...
And about 40 min before landing, the flight attendant came back and told me the captain had asked if i wanted to be in the cockpit for the landing. I didn't need to think twice about that. I was a magical experience, we had clear skies and could see the Atlas mountain in Morocco on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea.
That crew really made my day.

I cringe at the people who fly wearing sweat pants and t-shirts.

I don't wear sweatpants and t-shirts, but I don't wear hose and heels, either!
And you must have a charm I don't have, David, to get a flight attendant to hang up a jacket, outside of first class. That has never happened to me!

Yup. Everyone loved us after 9-11. Now we are Bushes Anti Freedom Police, violating peoples rights. Until another plane goes down. Then we will be loved again.

In my case it is because most TSA officers I have encountered aren't nice. Just because your job is to check our belongings doesn't mean you can't give a smile! Some people think that in order to convey seriousness they need to be rude or mean. I think that's wrong. It is possible to be nice and serious at the same time. Same thing happens with the people who work at customs. They're even worse. They're so serious sometimes that they spook travellers. I have to say however, in my last trip to New York, the custom's officer who checked my passport was actually very nice. I can't say the same for the TSA officers stationed at the gate where I took my next plane :-\

Hoo boy, David, I would not want your job. It just seems like you guys can't win. And I'll be holidays are murder. That's why to go to the barbecue I didn't put myself on the first flight out in the morning or on an afternoon flight. :-\
