I have flown flyi twice, and I have many friends who have chosen to take advantage of their "low fares." Everyone i talk to about the airline, including myself has had a HORRIBLE experience. I was 4 hours late out of GSP, and 2 hours late(after missing my first connection) out of iad! Being a typical usairways passanger, flyi had a lot to live up to, and failed completely! Oh yea, it also sucks sitting on the ramp in a plane smaller than my car for an hour.
P.S. Hows Lake Murray doing this season?

I really hate to be the one to have to break it to you, but if you have spent any amount of time flying on any airline, you have probably flown on an airplane that has had a lot worse than a leaking fuel cell in its past. People don't like to hear it, but airplanes are just like any other man-made mechanical invention - occasionally they break. That's where passengers have to trust that the airline they fly has a knowledgeable and trustworthy group of mechanics that will not let a plane fly unless they are 100% sure it can complete its flight safely.

That's my point exactly about the fuel cell - NO one wanted to hear it. Why cause consern among the passengers - get it fixed and get them on their way with as little delay as possible. That ws the one situation that FlyI could have been more discreet about.

I did forget to mention, and I don't think this can be passed off on anything other than FlyI, the only flight I did not have an exit row seat the women seated at the exit came on the aircraft in a wheelchair. Now, how does that make you feel? The flight attendant came to give her spiel and asked the usual questions, made the comment about the wheelchair, and said there was nothing she could do about it. Any comments on this issue?

I'm not sure how this is FLYI's fault again. One of two things probably happened, the lady in the wheelchair either did not specify on her reservation that she had a special need and the computer didn't know any better than to assign her that seat, or (more likely) she purposefully picked that seat when she checked in and selected her seat online. I don't know what the FAA guidelines are for refusing a person an exit row based on perceived inability to perform the duties, but I am assuming that if the flight attendant asked if she was able to perform the duties (and I assume that she was mobile enough to walk herself onto the plane) and she said yes there isn't too much that FLYI could do about it.
I agree that if this lady had to use a wheelchair to get to the plane, I wouldn't want her in the emergency exit row on my plane. But that being said, I'm sure airlines have to be extra careful at these sort of situations to avoid discrimination claims.
