      I find airports among the most dehumanizing places to have to hang out for anyone not incarcerated. I had a 12-hour layover in Hong Kong in 2018, before the CCP turned the city into a municipal political concentration camp. Even then, it was a vast wasteland of luxury shops, where convenience shops, ATMs, and reasonable restaurants and bars were few and far between. The only upside was all the walking exercise I got before my 15-hour-flight.

      "great job, terrible career" is often how I see people refer to being a pilot. Constant shift work, weekend work, sleeping out of hotels half your life, the constant boredom while having to be at your best when needed. I don't think there'd be any jobs that offer the same stunning views that being a pilot offers, but everything else about it sounds rough.

      *I was flying back from Vegas on Frontier, after never ever having a problem with them before and also none after.. and my flight got delayed by 30 minutes..*
      Then it was 1 hour.
      Then 2.
      Then 4.
      Then 6.
      So after keeping us there with repeated delays, even though they knew it was going to take a long time from the beginning, they cancelled the flight.
      *They then said next available was TWO DAYS later. After keeping us all in the airport from 6 or 7pm to 12 or 1am.*
      *THIS WAS FOR A 45 MINUTE FLIGHT FROM LAS TO SAN*
      I had to cry and complain to several people and they finally got me on a flight, and they gave me a flight the next day at 7am.
      Then I had to try and stay awake/get minimal shuteye with my phone alarm on max resting on my shoulder. (When I'm sleep deprived I can and have slept through earthquakes lol.. some of them not even sleep deprived, like the 1994 huge earthquake)
      They offered 300 towards other ways home, but there were literally none available. Uber wouldn't take a 4.5hr drive (I don't blame em) and you couldn't go 2 hrs and get another uber for 2 hrs because the city 2hrs away wouldn't have ubers.
      There was literally no way home. They would not pay for a hotel.
      It was during the WSOP so many were booked and the rest were high priced, and I'd already been in Vegas so long I didn't want to stay longer and staying longer was financially bad.
      I don't think airlines should be allowed to get away with repeatedly delaying a flight even though they know it's not going to fly when they claim it is.
      I also believe if they stand you somewhere for 2 days they should have to pay for lodging.
      Quite a screwed up system we are allowing these airlines to get away with. It's literally horrible that they're allowed to do what they do simply to save themselves SOME money.

    • @artrandy
      @artrandy 11 месяцев назад +7

      Its called 'collective responsibility'. They are the face of the airline, and how an airline trains these people to deal with the public when things go wrong and tempers get frayed, often makes the difference between good and bad airlines. However, clear abuse is not tolerable. Its a responsible job, but if they're not up to it, then there are less stressful jobs out there that come with correspondingly less pay................

    • @joesterling4299
      @joesterling4299 11 месяцев назад +1

      Comes with the territory. Passengers who get delayed or cancelled, then mistreated or ignored, don't have the CEO or any other suits responsible for the airline's uncaring policies there to confront. They only have the gate agents, who are authorized agents of the airline, and should know the "sh!t" is not aimed at them personally, but at their employer. It takes a certain personality to be successful and remain sane at those jobs.

I usually like the "day in the life" vids, details we don't normally see. (I wondered where pilots go when we're standing around waiting at gates, in lounges). I trust pilots are paid for sitting around airports waiting? (I heard flight attendants are ONLY paid when plane doors close, which seems pretty unfair).

      Kelsy in my head is a movie star. This is my script:

      He's a pilot with a plan...to never pay for anything! Captain Kelsy will outwit, outfly, and outmaneuver every obstacle in his path...
      He'll dine in the finest restaurants, sleep in luxurious hotels, and travel in style
      ...all without spending a dime!
      Get ready for a rollercoaster of laughter, suspense, and the wildest adventure of them all!
      From dodging paying for food...
      or haggling with skydivers for free parachutes...
      befriending airport staff to score free lounge access
      ...and even using his cockpit as a hotel room...
      Kelsy will stop at nothing to avoid spending a single cent!
      Kelsy must outwit, outmaneuver, and outcheap his way to freedom!
      Will Kelsy ever learn the value of a dollar? Or will his thrifty antics lead to the adventure of a lifetime?
      Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a frugal and fantastic flight as One pilot's penny-pinching ways will leave him flying solo in more ways than one.

    My funniest "this flight isn't going anywhere realization" as a passenger, is when a AME walked down the isle of the plane toward the back. I heard a bunch of banging and wrenching sounds, then the AME walked back down the isle with this metalic component tbat was about the size of a basketball (and that had wires coming out of it in a manner that resembled the greek goddess hydra). The person sitting next to me and I looked at each other and simultanously uttered a expletive. Moments later the pilot said we'd be deplaning.

      One of my flights last year got cancelled because the plane had a mechanical issue. I wasn't frustrated about it. Instead, I was happy United Airlines put the safety of us passengers above profits. A cancelled flight is better than a plane crash. A slight inconvenience is a better option than your family planning your funeral.

    • @JimMork
      @JimMork 11 месяцев назад +2

      @@hamsterama Yes, a trip permanently canceled by a crash is terrible. But travelers need to absorb the reality that pieces in the planes they are boarding are likely in imperfect condition. We all know our used cars have parts replacement in their future. But cars remain on terra firma. Planes seem to need to go above 30,000 feet. A part that reaches its limit that high is a source of great danger. And planes run out of fuel, start generating fumes, a long list of things. On the ground, a lot of these involved pulling out of traffic, calling a tow truck. No tow trucks in the sky. Best case scenario is a canceled takeoff.
