Safety Issue or Just Lazy?

American Airlines announced it would try to compete with the better of the airlines by offering pajamas and turn-down service in their International First-Class product. It took all of a week before us lazy Americans decided that is a crazy amount of work. Never mind that many leading airlines offer this service.

The Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) filed a grievance, and because “this is too much work and we’re lazy” isn’t cause for filing a grievance the APFA is conducting a survey asking if the bedding or act of changing into pajamas is a safety hazard on the aircraft. Again, never mind that many leading airlines already offer this service.

The survey, which can be found via the previous link, asks questions like:

“Were there any safety issues with the bedding before landing?”
“Were there any safety issues with the turndown service at all?”
“Were there lines for the lavs when passengers changed into/out of pajamas?”

Service sucks in the USA because we Americans are lazy, and we consistently prove we are unable to provide quality service to our customers.

Small, cheap plastic cup is NOT what you expect from a lounge. LAME. Also notice the space for the pay phone and the “Modem” port in the wall. Update anyone? The lighting is pretty bad too…

CVG, Delta, ATT, TMobile FAIL.

CVG is on my shit list. No data, voice only. ATT FAIL. Delta SkyClub serving drinks in plastic cups (smaller size means more tips?) And the T-Mobile hosted internet is suuuuuper slow (probably because ATT data is down now).

I have a pic, but I can’t upload it because my phone has no ATT data right now, and for whatever reason the T-Mobile authentication page (SkyClub Membership) will load on my MacBook but not on my iPhone… It’s a cluster-fail.

Drunk JetBlue Passenger: “I Did Not Realize I Was Pissing on Her Leg”

An 18-year old man, drunk from downing 8 alcoholic beverages on a JetBlue flight from JFK to Portland, Oregon, was arrested after he urinated on an 11 year old girl on the plane.

The man says that he was so drunk that he didn’t realize that he wasn’t in the bathroom when he decided to urinate on the young passenger. Incredibly, the girl’s father did not beat the living crap out of the guy, though he apparently had to be restrained. Which is understandable.

Amazon Cloud Player collapses under demand for Lady Gaga’s Born This Way

In a probable attempt to promote Amazon Cloud Player, Amazon MP3 is selling Lady Gaga’s Born This Way album for 99 cents, but it seems that the back end servers can’t handle the load.

Most customers have only received a portion of the album and a significant number have received less than half the album causing a number of 1-star ratings on Amazon.com.
