Let's start with air travel. Now I have to admit that I am spoiled. I used to do 70 to 80 thousand miles a month when I was going cross country all the time. As a result, I got into the American Airline Million Miler club. I'm sure people have their AA horror stories, but not moi. Because of my status, I am treated like royalty by the employees. Early boarding, assistance, you name it.
Now last week, I flew up to Seattle for some Dodger games. And, as a result, I didn't fly AA for the first time in 25 years. I was just a common slob on Alaska Airlines. And I was with a lot of people who were even more common. And sloppy.
We were packed into this airline steerage which reminded me of the Irish down below on the Titanic. It was serviceable but still...
And here's the first edict for my own world...
No more luggage allowed on air flights. If you've got a suitcase, you check it like a normal person. And, PS...it's free. All that's allowed on board is a small travel bag or a back pack. As a result, you won't be subjected to the boarding process that requires lifting some monstrous piece of luggage into the overhead.
Count on it. There are always the weakest women in the world trying to lift that thing. And they refuse help when you offer it.
And how many times have you seen one fall on a seated passenger's head? Some airlines might want to take out concussion insurance. And, if you shitcan luggage on board, you can leave on time
Yes, I'm crazy. No, this will never happen. But anything that can make air travel better gets a vote from me.
A million miles or not.
Dinner last night: Butter shrimp.
