OK. I accept and understand your reply - I assume you are talking about comments that are/have been made on this (AIRLINE) list. There are about 400 members on this list and apart from you & I, there are NO experts - TRUST ME! When you refer to "rickety planes" at ANY airline, I suggest you be prepared to back it up with some specific facts. On the other hand, should you want to "chit chat", want info., have a travel/airline related question/comments/updates, etc. etc. etc., then this is the place to be - there are folks on this list who have worked in the Airline/Travel industry for almost 40 years - OK 35!
