I think that is exactly what he meant. It's not the product, its the crowd. I don't know how Spirit got the way it is, honestly. In the DC9\MD80 days for Spirit, they were not infamous for trashy problematic pax. Allegiant was the first to be, but now you barely hear a peep about them and all my flights on them post-Airbus transition have been unremarkable (And I've always been using OAK\SCK for those flights which are both ratchet cities). In the MD-80 days I have plenty of stories about both pax and sketchy stuff from the company, but now they're just as unremarkable to fly as Avelo. Frontier has gotten worse and worse, tho. I only have 7 legs on Spirit, and I have stories about each flight LOL. It's not a ULCC problem, its an Urban 'murkieh problem I guess.There actually are several ULCCs in Japan. It's just that the people that fly on them are better behaved than over here.
I've taken Peach and Spring flights. Pretty on par with Spirit as far as level of service, but way, way different passengers.
I've never heard 11 individual songs played on cellphone speakers across an A320 on Allegiant. I have on Spirit and Frontier more than once each lol. But Asiana recently had a pax successfully open the L3 door I think on an A321 on approach and an ANA 747-400D was once hijacked by a flight simmer who stabbed the captain to death and went on a joy ride around Tokyo with 500+ of his closest friends, so its not like Asia doesn't have its crazies. They're just more introverted. Until they aren't.
Yeah on a plane boarding thru the L1 door, that would only work out well if boarding is quick. It is a nice touch tho, and on shorter routes, the pre-departure drink service is often the only drink service the premium pax get. Might as well have that 6AM beer if you paid an extra $400 for CRJ first class LOL.I still think pre departure beverages while boarding is one of the dumbest things that airlines do. Sure, hold up everyone on the jetway so that the job kreator in 1c can get his 6am miller lite.
NPR once did a piece on this and Mexico City is actually the city where the highest amount of women per capita report being physically sexually assaulted on public transit. I know it doesn't all get reported obviously, but pretty much all the top cities in some study were in India, Bangladesh, West Africa, or a poorer Latin American country. It does happen in Japan, and it is true that is was so bad on one line in particular that there were segregated cars for women only for those who wanted to use them. But it isn't by any means a uniquely Japanese problem, and German porn makes Japanese porn look like Barney.I've visited the USS Arizona memorial twice. It's a solemn place and the people that take you out to it ask that you remain silent in English, Japanese, and Chinese once in the memorial because it's a graveyard on the way out in the boat. I'm unsure of the actual cultural makeup of either group each time I visited but the majority were Asian and didn't appear have heard what they were told, bunch of loud Chatty Cathies taking pictures. People say that Americans are boisterous ignorant a-holes when traveling abroad, and that is likely true but we are not the only culture full of rude, disrespectful idiots that travel. Women getting "felt up" on an overcrowded train car in Tokyo is a real problem and has been for a long time. Ever heard the term tentacle porn and wondered where it came from?
Btw, tentacle porn was literally created tongue and cheek because of Japanese censorship refusing to allow people to draw a penis (which is why to this day a lot of porn there is censored), so some hentai artists started drawing tentacles in protest but then people were like "Stop I can only fap so fast" so it ended up becoming a thing. I'm not sure where you were alluding it came from, but it has nothing to do what what you typed above lol.
Also, in my experience, the only place in Hawaii where I virtually never see Japanese tourists is Pearl Harbor and the associated tours. Maybe there will be a handful here and there, but seeing as they outnumber Americans at many tourist spots on Oahu, I've always noticed a very distinct lack of Japanese people at something like the USS Arizona Memorial. "Loud Chatty Cathies" sounds a lot more Chinese or maybe Korean than Japanese, idk why you assume they are Japanese just because "Asian".
