I have visions of passengers dragging picnic baskets with them on board and firing up the hibatchi in the middle of the aisle. Maybe, throw in a few live chickens. What fun.

Don't we charge $100 each for pets in the cabin? This could be a huge money maker for us.......25 chickens X 100.00 X how many flights? We'd be back in the black in no time!

I'm not sure we can charge as much for chickens as we do pets. There is a different fee for livestock, I'm sure.

hey how about $20 bucks per chicken but if the chicken is huge, then double the price!!!!! Attention folks! Today US AIRWAYS is proud to announce that we are the first airline in the world where you may order a bucket of chicken. The cost: $30.00 plus $2.00 for a bevearge except alcolhol which is $7.00!!!!!

Working for US was a blast, but it was just a small part of my life. When I was done with a trip, the jacket and tie came off for the commute home. I didn’t date anyone in this industry either. And no offense to anyone here, I didn’t hang out on aviation chatboards in my spare time.
Don’t let this place get you down! If you’re on a trip right now, use your free weekend cellular minutes to call a friend or family member you haven’t talked to in a while. If you’re at home, it’s almost dinnertime so get in that kitchen, woman! (kidding)
In the end, this is just a silly chatboard about a dumb airline.

I don't remember the year, but I remember when AA had that 2 for the price of 1 fare sale. The Kettles REALLY came out of the woodwork. People who'd never flown before. The ones we joked about who when asked "Would you like a window seat?" responded "No, I don't want to mess up my hair."
This one happened for real: Someone actually brought a box of bees as a carry-on. I've got a 1st hand witness. None of that through-the-grapevine stuff. The contents of the box were discovered mid-flight.

One good thing with the new beverage buy on board is that you won't have people ordering 3 drinks apiece then throwing out 2 of them.
That is so true! I hate it when people ask for several drinks, especially when you are on a short flight with a full plane. And what about coach passengers who actually want you to mix up some concoction such as Cranapple mixed with seltzer and a splash of ginger ale with two stir sticks and a lime? Sure, they can have whatever concoction they want, but it will cost them!

I would absolutely die if someone brought bees on board.
I am allergic to them and not only that I am scared to death of bees and I would probably run through the cabin screaming for bloody murder then lock myself in the lav until the bees are gone. It sure would be a rough landing for me!

Ditto on all counts. But where would bees go at XX,000 feet? Can't exactly open the door and let 'em fly out, now can you? It would be a crowded lav. Kind of like clowns in a VW Bug at the Circus or High School kids in a phone booth.

I would stay in the lav until after landing and until someone comes on and gets rid of all the bees. It would be a crowded lav. LOL! It would be pretty funny to see everybody running around screaming and trying to hide in the lavs or fighting over the lavs while others would try to kill the bees. Some people would video record it with their cameras and put it on YouTube and send it to the media and we would be the butt of lots of late night talk show jokes. It would be utter chaos. Then they could make a movie. Instead of Snakes on a Plane, it would be Bees on a Plane and based on a true story.

Luvy, it's always been "bad". I go back 50+ years and I am here to tell you that this is nothing new. The intensity is worse right now but believe me, it has always been "this way". That includes the salad years at AAA. In the airline industry, people involved in it are always looking over their shoulder. When times are good, some people tend to cry with a ham under their arm.
I realized I had a choice in how I feel about things. How very Zen of me! But it is true. Negativity can actually kill you! By finding your center, peace of mind if you will.......and realizing that you have no control over anything or anyone but yourself, you will come to a place where you can live in relative tranquillity (also spelled tranquility) no matter what is going on around you.
Life is all about choice. You can choose anything including how you feel about things. This is your livelihood and that is an overwhelming issue right now. But pendulums swing both ways. While you are waiting for the pendulum to make a good choice, you can be peaceful and calm waiting for things to improve. If things don't get better and the "worst" happens, you still have yourself and your loved ones and you still have control over your life and the choices you make.
Warmly.........and to all of you, peace, joy and happiness!

Post script: Luvy, I take it from your name that you love the DC9? Me too!
