Enough is enough!

Alright MFr's...time for a true MFn RANT!
I HATE AMERICAN AIRLINES! They are a bunch of anti-competitive sons-of-beeee-otches!
They treat you like cattle and God forbid you ask the air-hag for something. You'll likely have a look shot at you like she is trying to laser you to the seat.
"Excuse me miss, may I have a glass of ice, please"
Response: (In Gozer's voice from Ghostbuster's---Her eyes red, head spinning on it's axis...)
"You shall not only NOT have more ice, I shall strike you down with furious hormonal rage and you shall spite yourself for asking such a horrifying question to begin with. Now sit your demanding arse down in your 1x2 cell with your knees to your chin and don't say another word until you have reached your destination AND unpacked. You writhing insolent waste of life."

Tell me that's not how you feel.

The anger has been building for some time (nearly bumped from an over-sold flight in STL in May, if it were not for a quite pleasant old man who "volunteered" to stay behind on an over-sold flight, not to mention countless other mishaps and delays..the majority of which are caused by the airlines themselves because they don't know their arse from a door handle), but the scales were tipped this morning ladies and gentlemen.

I was informed by AA today--no I take that back, I wouldn't have known if I hadn't gone on-line to see about a refund for a friend--that our itinerary has changed. We are no longer landing at MDW, we are landing at ORD. Which might as well be F'n INDIANA since we're landing there at the beginning of rush hour (4:20pm). SOBs. Problem is the rental car (reserved thru Priceline) is at MFn MDW. F'n FF!!!!! Of course, bcs it's Priceline, they have no cancellation, no change policy. Fortunately after pleading my case to "Ronette" at Priceline she refunds my first res. in full but now I've got to do a whole new one for ORD. Which I did. We still have an SUV at ORD waiting for us. But that's not the point.

The point is that AA has been screwing us for years. Especially those of us who live in DFW. Given our geography in relation to the rest of the country you'd think this would be one of the cheapest hubs to fly out of. Quite the contrary, thanks to their monopoly of this market. We Dallasites pay double, triple most airfares. I can't wait till SWA can fly anywhere they want. Not bcs I particularly like their cattle car operation either. But at least their queer flight attendants will sing and smile and won't cut you off (Yes, I've done 5 beers between DFW and Hobby before). Go Dally! But the competition (which is ALWAYS good for the consumer...anyone who says different has their hand in the sand), might just make airfare in the DFW area more affordable, and thus more on par with the rest of this fine land of ours.

Rant over.

I need a beer.
