A Slogan is Born

Hahahahaha I happened to be flying United on Monday (remember that old cartoon with the two ducks flying...uhhh "united"?) with a stop in Houston. All flights were terribly overbooked and they were offering $ to take a later flight. Money that wouldn't motivate many people to change plans. And it goes without saying on almost any airline that if you fly coach you want to be among the first to board IF you have carry-on luggage you actually wish to carry-on. As one who has been flying since the golden age of airlines, I could not help but reflect: "this stinks." With higher fuel costs came overbooking and other cost savings and with 911 came a sense of empowerment by many who work for airlines akin to that of sadistic corrections officers. I'm flying today with an upgrade. Wish me well. ; - ) Miami
