9/25 I haven't traveled much in the US. Which is a better airline ? SW ?
Delta? American?
\_ Alaska Airlines.
\_ used to be good. But remember those maintainance (sic)
problems they had with the airplanes?
\_ What's the point in living if you can't feel alive?
\_ What is life without GLORY?? The GLORY of
coming crashing down to earth in a flaming
airliner, dying heroically in a ball of fire
for no particular reason?
\_ depends where you want to go. Each airline has a different hub.
\_ SW is good and affordable, but if you want to go across the
coast, you'll have to stop many times. They only use
737s, and they have no direct flights from coast to coast.
\_ aside from SW, United and American are generally solid
choices. You may get better deals from other smaller,
lesser known airlines.
\_ If you're going for the cheaper flights, everyone will have at
least one stop. SW is in the same price range (sometimes
cheaper, sometimes not) as everyone else, and generally has
one-stop x-country flights.
\_ Continental is well regarded by passengers and is also considered
a good airline for which to work as well (happy employees). UAL
has fallen a lot lately in customer satisfaction (and that was
before the airline/pilot contract negotiations) and their
employees are not nearly as happy with the airline, especially
the attendants. Happy employees make for a somewhat less
annoying flight. The Continental mileage program is somewhat
nicer than the UAL one.
\_ And they'll stick you on the runway without telling you why.
For six hours. Like me.
