Flying isn't fun anymore
CONTINENTAL AIRLINES STIKES AGAIN!!! Fuck that airline…and fuck United. They cancelled my flight to Buffalo from Chicago, yet had flights to cities in Ohio and Rochester, NY which is just an hour away. So airlines to avoid: Continental, United, and Air Tran. Cities to avoid connections: Chicago (O’Hare) and Atlanta. In other flyin news, it appears that the Arabs are off the “people you should be afraid to fly with list” and it’s back to the niggas again. More specifically, the Africans. Even more specific, the Nigerians. Even more very specific, those radical Muslims. I mean, I don’t understand how settin yourself on fire is supposed to bring down a plane…makes me wonder if this was a real attack. You know how the government likes to use fear to get their agenda pushed. I mean in light of the kid getting on the plane with “explosives” in his pants, the TSA is now going to install those full body scanners at various airports. Remember when they were first proposed but there was a lot of push back because of privacy issues? I bet nobody cares about someone seein their tits now…I mean the kid didn’t even get onto the flight in America so what good would the scanners have been? I think it was all a clever ploy. When you can’t force something down someone’s throat, you coax it down...just ask Mark Zuckerberg about stripping privacy while telling the users you’ve increased security. It all started back in August when Hilary Clinton was in Nigeria talkin about al Qaeda may set up shop in Nigeria and 4 months later – BAM! A Nigerian terrorist. I’ll be watchin as this story continues to unfold because it’s gonna be bad news. Whether for Americans or Nigerians (or both) we have yet to see.

Pilots blame traffic controllers for overshooting airport
Talk about typical Americans…typical humans. The pilots that were too distracted and flew past the destination airport are tryin to blame the traffic controllers for not properly reachin them. What the fuck else were the controllers supposed to do? Call the pilots on their cell phones? Maybe shoot them an email since the pilots “were on their laptops” anyways. I mean who really buys that bullshit? There is no way you can be so engaged on your laptop that you zone out on the radio. I mean they claimed to be having a discussion about the new Delta-NWA merger so they obliviously didn’t have any hearing issues. I honestly think they were fuckin. They shoulda gave them a spermalizer test and made sure these wasn’t any residue on their mouths or rectums. Because what else could be more embarrassing than being a gay pilot fuckin on the job? I don’t by the “sleeping” excuse because there really isn’t enough time for them to be sleeping...not like it was an international flight and that had ample rest already. Anyways, I hope they are fired because this issue is beyond just overshooting their destination. They lost radio contact as well. The Air Force was about to get involved and send jets to intercept the plane. They certainly endangered the well being of the passengers and I wouldn’t feel safe knowing they are the pilots of my flight.

Student controller almost kills EVERYONE!
Another thing I can’t mess with is the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. It appears that the two near accidents that occurred in the past month were due to a student controller in the tower. To bring you up to speed there were two incidents were two planes almost crashed into each other due to miscommunication from someone in the control tower on where they can land and take off. After an investigation, it’s been discovered that a “developmental” controller had been watchin those flights. The student hasn’t been punished but what bugs me is the defense from a controller’s union representative. He says that the controller is "brand new; he's going to make mistakes." Why can’t that muthafucka make mistakes on simulated flights? Why he gotta make mistakes when people’s lives are at stake? The student had only clocked 11 hours last month so what is he doin with no supervision? Why is he even on the radio talkin to the pilots? Next “don’t” to add to my list of “Flying No No” is flyin in or out of Cleveland. Sounds like another death trap.

Tryin to make the friendly skies friendly again
Yesterday the air safety summit took place in Washington D.C. After the Buffalo crash this past February, officials want to change standards and procedures to ensure that it won’t ever happen again. They are hoping that this will increase trust in the airlines and get people back in the air again. If they wanna increase air travel then they should LOWER THE FUCKIN PRICES! Or they could STOP CHARGING US FOR EVERY SINGLE THING! It’s like every airline now charges for the first luggage…like a muthafucka is gonna take a weeklong trip without any clothes. I think there is an airline that charges for snacks…fucked up. Like most airlines offer meals for a price and snacks for free but I think there is one that charges for the snacks too. The airline industry needs to reinvent itself. That’s the only way they’ll stay in business. I don’t know if it’s because I fly cheap, but can a muthafucka get a cute flight attendant? Scratch that, can I get a HOT flight attendant? When there is a cute flight attendant on the plane, she’s either A) workin first class or B) married. What ever happened with Hooters Air? They should come back and just fly to major cities (NYC, LA, MIA). Another thing airlines should do is create a family free zone or a family friendly zone. I don’t care what they call it but there should be a section of the airplane that I can sit in and not have to worry about the piercing loud screams of a tot whose parents are too incompetent to quiet down. Or not have to deal with little feet kickin the back of my seat for 5 hours straight. Southwest is my favorite cheap airline. It does suck that people can sit anywhere because I like reserving my seat. It also sucks they don’t have any entertainment (that I know of). But they don’t charge you for your first bag. They give you food. It’s just like in the commercials. They’re great.
