No one can argue that air travel has become an a joyous experience in the last decade or so. Between the cut throat price pressures of the hub an spoke system since de-regulation and the post-9/11 TSA indignities, people now look for reasons not to fly.

Might one dare ask… where are the patent-pending “Stew-Stirrups(R)” that should be conveniently bolted to either side of the plush seat?
The protective overhead skull impact pad is apparently just out of frame…
That’s so fake! It’s a 330 cockpit, the NW188 was a 320.
Growing weary of this crap, but I still love you guys and thank our host…
