It's relative. US certainly isn't targeting the trailer park crowd.

Advertising on trays makes you feel trashy? How do you think I feel sitting next to you? I am sooooooo damned glad that I will never live in the USA East of PHX. AMS and PHX are the perfect match for me.
FYI, bragging about how much money you make is a sure-fire way to offend Dutch people.

I obviously wasn't responding to a Dutch person as he's trying to sound holier than thou. BTW, I am Dutch and meant that as a poke in the eye to someone who obviously feels they are better than others, and not to brag. There are several US Air customers that are making these sorts of statements on FlyerTalk and all I can do is roll my eyes and thank God that I don't live in the eastern part of the US as this "I am better than you" attitude seems to be prevalent there. It makes me feel glad that the Dutch rid themselves of the eastern US and got the Brits stuck there!
