Please give that passenger his peanuts!
June 27, 2015: From USA TODAY Story:
“Now in the running for worst air traveler of the year: That would be Jeremiah Thede, 42, of Berkeley, Calif., who authorities say got out of his seat 15 minutes into his Saturday flight from Rome to Chicago — despite the “Fasten Seat Belt” sign being lit — and demanded nuts for a snack. Then he allegedly stood up and demanded more. From there things spiraled into a debacle that cost United Airlines an estimated $550,000.”
Baggage Carousel at SFO
June 26, 2015: This is American Airlines Baggage Carousel One at SFO on a recent weekend evening—nearly one hour after my flight arrived from DFW—so where’s my bag? Shameful now that most of the world’s airlines charge for checking your luggage—logging over a million dollars in extra revenue last year for this necessary convenience—they can’t deliver in a timely manner!!
Alaska Airlines being the only carrier that says they will deliver your bag in 20 minutes or less—If not they’ll compensate you with extra miles or small credit to use for a future flight – thank you Alaska – and American, how about using some of that extra revenue to add baggage staff?
