    I flew to laguardia last fall and that is a short runway with water all around. It was bound to happen. When you land there it throws you forward hard when he slams it down and tries to hold it in the slot.
    easy livin'

    Listen, you may have noticed that I do not engage in mocking your suboptimal life management skills and less than stellar aptitude as the others on here do.

    The facts are that US AIR has one of the worst records in the industry... flight delays, cancelled flights, lost luggage, customer satisfaction... you name it. Chapter 11, did not make things any better. If it is what you can afford, enjoy.

    it's using...

    OK then Mr. Lefthandsa... here's what Jerry Guo reported...

    ...None of this is especially surprising, other than maybe that complaints are surging--as usual. But what is surprising is that America's most hated airline, US Airways (sadly most US travelers will agree with you hands-down on their status), is equally hated, if not more so, by its own employees. Ouch.

    In a New York Times story, one worker wrote in, "... I hate to tell you but the interiors of our plans [sic] smell bad and they are filthy. As an employee I am embarrassed to admit working for US Airways." It was also revealed how far the airline will go to cut costs--they're currently on the lookout for a cheaper supplier of their famous pretzels. Right now, each package costs roughly 3 cents.

    I've had several bad experiences with US Airways, though to their credit, the last time they randomly canceled my flight--and had the nerves to blame it on the weather--they ended up agreeing to send me a $250 voucher. But I generally go out of my way to avoid flying with them. And so should you!
