Recline should at least be disabled on the CRJ2s.

Currently, at the LGA D SC <If anyone's around >

I had an iced tea. All's good. When I went back for another one, they only had plastic cups, not the nice, tall iced tea glasses. I asked if the dishwasher broke, and he the bartender said no, but didn't tell me why! [/Rant]

The only reason I'm here is, because, I was on the F train to Roosevelt, and the train ahead of my train broke down, and we were stuck underground between stations for about 35 minutes, and I missed my flight to PIT, so, I'm stuck here 3 extra hours.

WELL DONE! This is certainly one of the most pathetic, random complaints I've seen on here. I can't believe you had to drink iced tea out of a plastic cup! Like some....animal.

Bravo sir, bravo.

What sucks the most?

* Plastic cups for iced tea?

* Being stuck in the subway?

* You are going to Pittsburgh


3 strikes, you deserve a harder drink than iced tea.

Yes, but that would require flying from Islip, probably on a LCC (although I remember a time when PMNW did have service there).

Not just KE - all Asian airlines!!!! I actually believe this is a good idea. It's hard to eat when the guy in front of you recline fully...

I've never noticed because I'm too busy staring at my laptop...
One time I had a seatmate asked me to turn down my laptop screen on a TPAC flight. It was already down at 0 out out 100 setting.

If you ever wanted to know who is that weirdo has his laptop lit up over the entire Pacific on a 777 or 767, it's a good chance that was me! I am a work slave

He's already on Long Island, if he's at LGA.

The reference was to the drink - Long Island Ice Tea...

I'm entirely aware, thanks.

I was pointing out that Long Island doesn't just mean Islip.

Yes, it's a tough life here in Pittsburgh. It has prepared me for many hardships in life, such as having to drink iced tea out of a plastic cup!

Let's not argue about the exact legal location of LGA nor JFK and chill over a Long Island Ice Tea?

Yup, they're both in Queens, one of the four Long Island counties. It's amazing how many Brookylnites are in denial that they're Long Islanders.

I thought they were Lawn Guy Landers.
