As someone who flies out of Pittsburgh about 3 or 4 times each year, all I can do is laugh, because this kind of ineptitude is not unexpected from me. First US Airways leaves its long-time base of Pittsburgh (from which it began as Allegheny Airlines), new airport and all (which, BTW, US Airways […]

Fuck you BOY - you know nothing about hurricanes, airplanes, or the passengers on this particular flight. I am insulting YOU and other ignorant Diggtards that buy into the notion that the airlines should take care of your every need when something bad happens. It is typical of the ignorant and juvenile crybabies from Digg […]

as a frequent US Airways flier, I can attest to the inadequate service the airline provides. I have frequently caught them in lies about weather delays. Most US Airways flights that I have had canceled was due to maintenance or crew limits. About half the time they try to attribute it to weather. If it […]

The issue I have with other countries and their proclamation that they pay more therefore the US should stfu is they aren’t dependent like the US is. First and foremost if every major US city was in distance to each other like some European countries mass transit would be more of a possibility. […]
