Gripes

When they talk about the airlines wringing savings out of their operations and slashing costs, they're really not kidding, especially not at US Airways. I recently took a flight from Denver outta town and then back:
_ It $5 for everything from headphones for the inflight movie to a snack
_ The inflight movie was shown on shared screens, one of which wouldn't snap into place properly
_ One overhead compartment stubbornly wouldn't shut until the flight attendant slapped it over and over
_ Duct tape held another overhead bin closed
_ The oxygen masks popped out uncalled for before the flight took off
We won't even get into the lack of employees to help out after storms in Philadelphia fouled up travel plans for hundreds of passengers this week
