[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree OP.  I travel a lot.  Now when I travel in the US I expect problems.  Europe not so much.  It’s reliably delayed or canceled.  Baggage issues haven’t been my issue but significant delays and cancellations with not effort to help.  Canceling a flight from Cincinnati to DC and not have any solutions at all is not ok.  A flight the next day to Chicago is not a real solution but that is what we weee offered.  8 hour delay in Seattle.  3 hours in the runway at Dulles.  So long that a passenger claimed a medical emergency to get off the plan.  It’s bananas now. [/quote]

I'm guessing you don't fly in Europe much...[/quote]

Actually I do and stand by what I said.  I don’t specifically blame Biden but it definitely seems like crappy travel experiences have become ok.  The fines against American Airlines show that it has gotten worse.  I suspect that if there were more penalties and more accountability for failures, then it would improve.  One thing I see with the Secretary of Transportation is a lack of forceful leadership.  When he engages in an issue, he does so late and in a “fact finding” way.  He needs to enforce the regulations before bad crap happens.  I work for the federal government and have done so for 2 decades.  Agency leaders set a tone and his tone is one of mild interest.  He should be tackling the degradation of our air travel, rail travel and infrastructure.  Getting money via an infrastructure bill doesn’t do much unless there is someone making sure the money is spent efficiently to address the issues.  Pete is not a strong leader.  I think he isn’t really interested.[/quote]
And you think that anyone nominated by a GOP president would do what, precisely? [/quote]

It’s worse now than it was before COVID.  A lot worse and we’ve only had 1 post Covid president.[/quote]

This is just really weird disinformation to be pushing. Did somebody get bored of the other lies?[/quote]
It is not disinformation.  I know you love that word and think it invalidates facts but it doesn’t.  Just like it isn’t disinformation that Biden’s Secretary of Transportation routinely avoids commercial airlines.  It’s a fact.[/quote]

It really is. US has better on time performance than Europe. It’s weird to argue otherwise. [/quote]
