Handle with care.....

Have you travelled by plane recently ? Sure you have and as part of the overall package, the airline should be offering you care, consideration and respect as to your personage and baggage. Should be ? Ya right...... Did you feel the consideration at your check in ? Did the airline clerk reflect care of your seat position, particular concerns and questions ? If so, please, OH please let me know as the advent of air travel reaches new hights in terms of numbers per aircraft ( 600 plus on the new Boeing 777 & Airbus 380 )and the service/ offerings are heading down. Are we in fact simply numbers to fill an aircraft to a profitable level ? Are we shear cannon fodder to realise their profitability ? Respect the need for the airlines to make a reasonable profit but do we as the clients/pax/numbers have to accept the lowering of levels of service/increased airport taxes and the ignominity of just being a boarding pass ? I think not and in fact believe it is us ( the one who sits in their seats - TOWSITS ) that will hold sway as to how we are entertained/serviced/looked after. OK, this is my thought, what do you believe is the way forward in air travel. Ciao Colin J. FRYER.
