I agree with John Wilker on this subject, unfortunately those "all about me" folks are not limited to just the dickheads that bring a steamer trunk to the airport and call it carry on baggage. That's just our focus for now.

If you have been traveling for a while, you have seen the example of carry on size limitations in the jetway as you approach the aircraft door. It says, "if your bag fits in this, it's a carry on" or something to that effect. I would estimate that 98% of today's "carry ons" would not even be close.

I remember the days of small carry on bags. Not so long ago, travelers trusted their main luggage to the cargo hold and only kept toiletries and bare necessities with them in the cabin in case their luggage was "misplaced." Flight attendents are lobbying to correct this situation as it is dangerous and a contributor to air rage.

Being A Dick In A Small Town

This Dick (AKA Scott Kelly) got his cumuppance at the big homecoming football game. Just about everyone from this mid-American small town was there and I guess the scorned one who was – at one time (wife, girlfriend, mistress, etc) left no doubt as to how she felt about the guy NOW!

Motto: Don't piss off a female pilot, especially one in a small town. Hell hath no fury than a woman… (fill in the blank).

But what sweet revenge, huh?
