No more UK flights for CJ

[cjsmith]

I'll get on a transatlantic plane without carry-on luggage when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

(Or when they pay me the full replacement price of my checked luggage when I board. On the unlikely chance I ever see it again, and on time too, I'll gladly refund the money... minus a modest handling charge. AND they must have at least three decent full-length novels in the passenger cabin for me, as that's how many I'll need.)

If your fluid intake dropped off, at what point would it cross over from "passenger is very uncomfortable" to "medical emergency"? I wonder how stuff like that gets handled. "Uncomfortable" is something that obviously they don't mind people being; "medical emergency" is quite different; the tricksy part is that the line can get thin.

I feel bad for flight attendants too. (And gate agents.)

Probably the point at which I pass out and appear to have a seizure. :-) It tends to freak people out.

But I don't know the general answer to your question.

Hmmm, no metal? You hvae a clever and fiendish mind, sir; I salute you. :)

It's mostly a matter of desperation. I want my water, darn it! :)

Amen. It's getting so I'm wishing personal jets were more affordable -- and I've never wanted to fly a jet.

Oooh, that would definitely be a nice alternative. Now, let's see, should I make my priority learning to fly or saving enough money for a jet? I wonder which would take longer. :)
