How old is the plane you're flying on? More bad press?

CNN-few people expect luxury while flying, but these days, even the basics seem to be in bad shape.
It's not uncommon to find your tray table broken, the in-flight entertainment system not working and your seat cushion worn -- all of which can make you think, how old is this plane anyway?

I love this quote...
"There's a strange whistling in the cabin," wrote a poster recently on Flightsfromhell.com, recalling a tense journey on what appeared to be an old plane. "The engines sounded like they were at full throttle the whole trip... [and] the whole plane made a horrible 'crunching' sound on touch-down."

Whistling in the air? You mean like the 400mph wind rushing over the cabin? And a crunching on touchdown? You mean the 200,000lb airplane coming into contact with terra firma? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
More high quality reporting from CNN :sarcasm:.
Another good example of why their ratings are in the tank and nobody trusts them anymore.
 
the plane i flew on today was 35 years old, is somewhat held together with speed tape, has holes in the fuselage, loud, cold, and has been known to have electrical systems explode.

works just fine. :rawk:
