Tailwinds and Happy Landings

Maybe it's the fact that last night I flew on the same FLL-EWR Continental flight as the crazy guy who bit someone, or the fact that the two pilots at the helm of a plane when it crashed in 2004 were "tired and punchy", but I think that there is a severe lack of class in the air lately.

Whatever happened to the days when passengers dressed up and didn't have to worry about other people needing to breathe? Or when you could count on your pilot to have taken the edge off a little bit? Now, for the major airlines, it's all about business and profit. While they're clearly well-run enterprises, surely they could enforce some type of dress code to reflect the niceties of air travel?

We can only hope...
