You may have accidentally crossed a line with the first AS 261 comment; that happens when some people reply quickly. But you clearly took glee in it with your "tough beans" remark.
so you know when I feel "glee" eh? I rarely go on this forum. I saw the op on the banner page and clicked on it. My son just flew AS sea-lih a few months ago, and I thought he was nuts for buying the ticket. What I found on this forum is pretty sad. Seems the in-crowd can tolerate no-one with a different point of view. Seems like the PC crowd wants nothing except the same old rah-rah our teams best type of post. sorry. but I wasnt being the jerk that a few people made me out to be. On one hand there's the oh boo-hoo crowd and on the other there's the clique urging the moderators to give me a time out (while calling me a ***clown.) I suppose using the term kerplunck could be deemed being insensitive. It wasnt meant to be. I figure, when your times up, its up, and sometimes its rather ironic, when and how it happens. I feel sorry for the families of the folks that went down because of a mechanical. Things happen that shouldn't happen. OTOH If I were on a plane that was going to crash, and I knew I would most likely die. I would be a bit PO'ed if I knew the idiots ran out of gas.
