    Airlines now charging for safety?

    This video was spotlighted on the News this morning.

    Fuel prices may be to blame.

    AA was the worst flying experience that I have ever had.

    We sat three hours on the airplane while they repaired it. We watched I think four movies.

    lol yeah I agree AA is the worst flying experience. We were on run way once for 6 hours going to Toronto. After 6 hours they asked people to get off the air craft because the weight was too much. Pathetic.

    I would rather wait 3 hours than have them try and fly a broken plane. It would have been better if they asked you guys to get off. Boarding doesn't take that long.

    Very funny. I think worst flying experience I've had so far is with North West Airlines, who after a huge delay which prevented me from flying from the US back to the UK, abandoned me at the airport without any help.

    Agreed, however this was their reasoning:

    "currently we have a 15 minute delay in our flight, as there seems to be a hydraulic fluid warning light"
    ...15 minutes later...
    "well, seems like it'll be about an hour for him to fix the issue, He is currently waiting on the part from maintenance"
    ...an hour later...
    "seems like it'll be about another hour and a half for him to totally take all the lines off, drain all the fluid, replace the lines and then fill with new fluid"
    ...an hour ++ later...
    "Now he has to clean up the mess he made, sign off the papers, and it should be another 45 minutes"

    And THEN we had a 3 and a 1/2 hour flight to do on that plane. So I was in that plane roughly 7 hours.

    Never had a worse flying experience than american airlines. I will never take again, I`d rather pay double than fly with them.

    I always try and take smaller airlines like Alaska and Reno, it's always been a much nicer experience.
