Thats why to some extent, i still appreciate the "Good Morning Miss Neo, can i worship the ground you walk on" type of service unlike Nuf Sed. Since flying is like "taxi" on air,therefore up until we can get our own cars which equates "private jets" i guess we will have to bear with the airlines Interesting article there Graeme, She actually makes flying sound worse than catching a taxi, ha ha ha

Calling me Mr Bramley, and waiting on me, with trays, and 'fancy' food, treating me as if I was some kind of royalty. It just didn't seem right to me. A sham I thought to myself. Exactly some of what you've just commented on. Why do airlines feel like they need to pretend that I'm impressed with that kind of treatment? I'm more akward that impressed, being treated like that. Certainly I apreciated the bigger seats, but the whole 'waiting' on me is a little over the top. So yes I agree. I think it's a generational thing. I think it's some kind of something you buy into, and then are impressed with. I just wish low-cost airlines didn't have to mean shocking service. I can do without all the frills, but why does low-cost equal terrible attention to detail?
