Well, had to take good 'ol Delta from ATL to CLE...yeehaa, and I just gotta get this out, before I lose anymore of my mind.
Here goes...
It's called "Kiss and Fly", which means you drive in, pull into the CLEARLY labled drop off area, get out, get your gear, and leave. Why is it that people think it's called the-pull-into-the-thru-lanes-pay-no-attention-to-the-signs-and-take-an-hour-to-say-goodbye lane?
Next we have the joy of the Delta self-check-in kiosks. Note to the genius at Delta who thought ATL only needed like 30 Kiosks in the whole airport: That's not enough moron. I was in line forever and a day behind like 20 people trying to get to one of the "many" kiosks. Of course it never fails that I end up behind the guy who can't seem to figure out A) how a touch screen works, and B) can't decide where he wants to sit. Look moron, you got 3 real choices, First Class, front of coach, or back of coach. Why did it take him 5 minutes to decide that he already had a good seat.
Okay people, there is a traffic flow around the ticketing areas. You stay to the right and keep moving until you find your airline, x-ray machine, or entrance to the security area. YOU DO NOT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I was trying to get to security and at least 5 people stopped dead in their tracks, and then get pissed off when I bump into them.
New flash people, they have those luggage sizers for a reason! Why is it that the last 4 people to board always seem to be trying to bring roller bags the size of a large Caddilac on board? And why are they always shocked when there's no room for their bag? And if you really need all that stuff, you should consider hiring a truck and moving there. Check your freakin' bags if they're you could fit a large horse in them.
Why is it that I either get stuck next to or in front of the idiot passengers who think they know everything about flying? And why do they need to give a running commentary about the flight. Look, we're not delayed getting back into Atlanta, because there isn't enough space in the air around the airport, the landing gear doesn't come down 100 miles from the airport, it's not -100° F (heard this two weeks ago) at 33,000 feet, the pilot isn't too young to fly the plane, and we're not lost just because you can't find your house on the ground.
And just to cover the rest of the bases...
Turn your cell phone off, when the FA tells you to, put your seat up before take off and landing, if you need to take a leak then go, but don't announce it to the ENTIRE FREAKIN' PLANE, and if you're pissed about the government spending millions to bail out the airlines, stop voting republican...and stop flying to dumbass.
Alright, I feel better.
Later.
