Passenger problems in US....

Thought this article in the Telegraph was interesting [:D].

So, pray tell, what has:


'The incident illustrates the growing agonies suffered by American air passengers as domestic airlines struggle to cope with rising fuel prices.'

got to do with the crew arriving late at the airport?

In another example of 'air rage', a first class passenger on a Delta Airlines flight on Friday from New York to Guyana was so angry at seeing economy passengers leaving the plane before him that he pulled open an emergency hatch and slid down the chute.

Thats certainly one of the 'coolest ways' I have heard of de-planning [:?]

Not sure that it would go down to well with the Authorities?

Not a lot is, I think, the answer. [:w] Presumably journalists are under instruction to mention fuel prices in in all stories, though I am surprised at the absence of the term 'soaring' and there being no mention of 'millions of of hard pressed families'.

Nor do I get the necessary relationship between service cutbacks / charging for bags and flights being late.

Love it! Must remember that tip for deplaning!
