I am a 70yo Retired Cargo Pilot (18 years). Wife & I just (last night), returned from a Round Trip to (Budapest, Hungary from Midland, TX). The "SEATING" on ALL but one of our 6 Flights, WAS HORRIBLE! I am 6 foot 225 pounds.. And I could not even put the Tray Table down on the United 777 from Denver to Munich, Germany. 9 hours of the WORST SEATING I HAVE EVER HAD! I did not even TRY to use the Restroom on that LONG Flight as I would not be able to get out of my seat, without making 3-4 PEOPLE MOVE even across the Isle! only Flight that was even TOLERABLE was the LAST FLIGHT from Houston, TX to Midland, TX on an OLD AB 319 100. And least I could get my TRAY TABLE DOWN, even if it was only 1 hour Flight. The Flight Crew had to assist me in getting out of the Seat on the Budapest to Frankfort, Germany Flight #4 (starting the return home). The AB 321 was SO CRAMPTED that an Elderly Woman refused to take her TINY SEAT and left the Plane to go by car for 10 HOURS instead! We traveled for 21 H

WOW, saw one like this in Sikeston, MO back in the 1980's. Not very far from the Sikeston Drag Strip Raceway. There was also what looked like a 1940's single Engine (maybe a Fighter) in another out building.

Did you miss the Labeling on Mask Boxes/Packages the Masks come inside?.. "NOT EFFECTIVE FOR PREVENTION OF BIOLOGICAL DISEASE or BACRRIA TRANSMISSION"... https://www.facebook.com/messenger_media?thread_id=100012172963800&attachment_id=499434747862583&message_id=mid.%24cAABa9eYK79h_eBuMUl5RtZAblJdS

Breaks my HEART, as a Former Commercial Pilot... But we have decided to NOT FLY ANY DOMESTIC USA AIRLINES that have ANY TYPE of SILLY COVID19 Protocols. We has as well decided to NOT BOOK on American Airlines or United Airlines for the next 5 YEARS! Because of the manner in which they have TREATED PAX, for the last 14 MONTHS!!

Very nice!!! We used to land on 3 Grass/Dirt Runways in Texas, when I was flying the OZARK DC-94's.

The French NEVER WERE the BRIGHTEST BULBS ON THE TREE!.. If we would have WANTED the Train, we would be TAKING THE TRAIN.. They never stop showing their STUPIDITY in Europe!~

Ms. Pelosi, STOP trying to inject Pork Barrel Money for your PRIVATE INTERESTS and Cities into the Stimulus, and it would have PASSED a Month ago!

MAN, you GOT THAT RIGHT!.. My Wife and I every year take the 20,000+ mile Trip from MAF (Midland, Texas) to MNL (Manila, Philippines).. Usually via Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan or S. Korea.. Most are like MAF to DFW, to Japan/S.Korea, and finally Manila 2 Stop Off's.. We have taken these 26 to 32 hour Flight Combos since 2005.. The Noise Level in Airports has increased every year it seems.. To the Point that I now wear Ear Plus in MOST Airports.. The WORST are US and Hong Kong Airports!. So much echo from too loud that you can not understand them!. Always have someone ask us, WHAT DID THEY SAY?
