FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I was on a CO Express flight yesterday -- an older ERJ.:rolleyes: As we were close to EWR -- all this water started dripping on me (12A) -- the FA said it was condensation -- it's clearly an on-going issue with that seat -- is it worth a note to CO 'who cares'?!:rolleyes:

No need to contact CO, that's pretty typical of most exit row window seats.

Same end result for the SEA flight. In my head after I heard the page I was thinking that an unplanned trip to LAS or SLC would really not be conducive to getting us to our hotel on time.

ETA: Diverting to LAS would kill someone, now that I have bothered to consult teh Great Circle.

I don't mind them on occassion. Not something I want to do all the time though. This flight was a little beyond my comfort level, and ranked in my top 5 most turbulent ever.

I had a really turbulent flight last year. Can't quite remember where it was to/from. All I remember is taht I was in 1F and the woman in 1A was hysterical with fear. The FA had to throw a wet towel in her face to calm her down!!

I've heard something to the effect of "I'm fine at cruise; it's takeoff and landing that rattle me."

Try landing at SNA after 20:00 - the NIMBY rules dictate a high and fast approach that, based on my experience, may cause an involuntary loss of dental fillings.

Yes! Done that! the take-off is "fun" too. Very steep, and then the engines appear to cut out over the ocean. Enough to make you cry....:rolleyes:

Call me crazy, but I kind of enjoy flights like this. :D

Actually I enjoy them as well, it is a bit like a roller coaster, which I also enjoy :D

I enjoy people watching around me as well, as others go :eek:

I do too (though hate rollercoaters). I sleep better when there is turbulence; almost like it rocks me to sleep

Very nice. I'm mostly expensing this charge, but still a good deal.

Anyway, it's the gold line now (same color on all printed materials) and apparently nobody is complaining now.

As the decendants of oppressed gold mine laborers, I'm totally offended by this designation. :p
