rafatmit, is new to the board, lets be nice to him-or-her...

rafatmit, you should see the boarding passes for southwest, they are not just ugly, but they almos never print good.

Finally, let me say welcome to the forum.

Unpainted planes also saves them on fuel costs, they aren't carrying around a few hundred/thousand extra lbs of paint.

I didn't mean to be unwelcoming, really. My apologies rafatmit.

Just with everything else going on I can pinpoint a whole lot of other things that most of us are concerned about that far supercede the bulk paper boarding pass appearance.

Everyone has their gripe though, so that's kewl.

so that was why United Airlines forced me off the plane and made me remove my make-up before they would let me fly! Too heavy! It all makes sense now. Then again, it may have been because my eyeshadow clashed with their boarding pass colour scheme!

I think it had more to do with the fact that you were so much better looking/behaving than their own prison matrons and said matrons didn't want to be shown up so they tossed you off the plane.

As an ex-UA flyer I'd put big money down on this theory!

Sarah,

Were you that transvestite whose passport didn't jive with the real life appearance?

Pity you haven't posted on this thread yet - we'd be able to work out your oral capacity

Well, there you go with some gratuitous sexual innuendo. Your cause is lost with me. Maybe AirTran will take you?

NO sexual innuendo was implied whatsoever. If that's what you thought then I apologise but your mind works in a very different way to mine. The oral capacity, among other things, determines the size of boot you can insert.

It may also be the case that the greater the oral capacity, the more likely one is to say something which one will regret later.
