Why should I or anyone else have to give up travel because of an occasional nut? Sorry but there is an absence of logical in your reasoning.

Sorry, sentence should read "absence of logic."

Pretty hard to drive to Europe.

There is talk about extending US Interstate 40 West to Hawaii and East to London, England. Although there have been whispers about underwater tunnels.

Europe is one of the very few places that will prompt me to fly again.

At my advanced age there's still stuff I want to see right here. The only temptation for overseas might be the airfields of England left over from WW2 or the invasion beaches.

Hopefully I can get off the interstate in Southampton to catch a cruise.

Agree completely. Life's too short to miss out on travel and seeing the world. Whatever money we have, we can't take it with us on our final trip!!

I know what you mean, but I've done a lot of traveling and flying. I don't want to give any more money to the airlines.


So it's the provider, not the service.

I stopped flying before 9/11. The way they treat their customers would have put them out of business if in any other business. They lure you in with low fares then nickel and dime you to death with fees. If a new airline were to start today with customer service as their #1 priority they would dominate the industry. So charge a few bucks more for an enjoyable experience. Then and only then would I ever consider flying again. Why not mask mandate and non mask scheduled fights. That would solve a lot of problems.

The lack of service. "Provider" might be too generous a term.
