So my wife and I are flying to Greece back on the May 5th. Leaving from JFK. Unfortunately our plane was full of orthodox jews. Now before you get uneasy I want you to know I love my brothers from the Tribe. In business with multiple Jewish friends. These asshole on the other hand were insufferable. We had the flight attendants repeatedly having to scold them to sit the fuck down. We had two directly in front of us. Imagine having someone rocking back and forth reading the Tora for nine hours. My mild mannered wife wanted to go all Hamas on these fuckers. Respect for their religious beliefs but they don't respect anyone outside of their own. Rant over. Please be kind.

When my father in-law was alive he used to visit his sister in Florida. He was originally from Brooklyn, an Italian. He would always try to get a nonstop flight to Miami because he didn't want to stop in Atlanta because those flights connected with flights from New York and he wasn't too fond of NY tribesmen

Flight diverts to JFK after passengers are served spoiled food

The Delta flight had departed Detroit and was en route to Amsterdam when cabin crew made the call​

An Amsterdam-bound Delta flight with nearly 300 people aboard had to divert to JFK Airport early Wednesday after "it was discovered" that some of the in-flight meal service had been spoiled, the airline said.

Flight crews on the Airbus A330 consulted with medical experts, who recommended the diversion to Queens. Delta flight 136 landed safely there at 4 a.m.

It's not clear how many passengers consumed the tainted food, nor were details on the spoilage known.

Passengers say it was the chicken.



:lol:

*ssholes who get on the plane, carrying on multiple pieces of luggage and throwing them into random overhead bins as they go down the aisle, leaving no room for my backpack up in the overhead at my seat.

this has always happened with a few people who think they're more special or smarter than the rest of us. but it seems to keep getting worse.

yeah... so it takes me ten minutes longer after getting off to get my luggage at baggage claim.

so i've started to tell people who try and cram stuff into the overhead above my seat, politely, to f*ck off.

Yuk. Yuk. Been there, done that, have the t-shirt. Wifey and I have opted to pay a bit more in order to board first, and get the overhead above our seats. Doesn't help even if you glare around you, all those seated around you will give a blank stare. U-tube has some great vignettes about baggage, people who demand you move, so they can sit with their spouse, and my personal fave, the people who demand you switch your seat so their kid can look out the window, and when you decline, kinda go postal on you.

once or twice, embarrassed wife and daughter giving me “stop it” looks, i’ve even taken people’s suitcases out.

what adds to my astonishment sometimes is the passenger with luggage that’s too big trying to cram it up in there, in the process smashing everybody else’s stuff.

there was a woman with a violin who actually took everybody’s else’s stuff out one piece at a time to make her violin case fit (lengthwise with nothing on top or in front of it). didn’t even think twice about it. it ended up taking up the whole overhead. she was staring-at-these-makes-you-healthy hot, so there were plenty of guys up and helping her out.

and don’t even get me started on the jackasses who didn’t realize that their four big bags of duty-free stuff (in addition to their suitcase and their backpack, and their oversized purse) had to somehow all fit up there into a 18” wide space.

flying, the whole experience has become an absolute cattle call that brings out the worst in people.
