Finally, something free from the airlines: ads on your boarding...

If I owned an airline, the plane would have every square inch covered in ads like a NASCAR car.

Maybe now the nasty flight attendents will wake up and realize that they better start making nice to their customers because their jobs are on the line...

The poorly managed airlines doing something smart. Anything to stem the increase in airline fees. After all, you don't have to read the ads if you don't want to.

Who cares? Ads on boarding passes aren't intrusive and don't hurt anyone unless you're stupid enough to buy the advertised products just because of those ads. If this means fewer cuts in other areas, then great.

This.

If Airlines have to put ads everywhere...I don't care as long as they stop raising rates/fees.

I sleep for 95% on flights anyway.

You are a hell of a good sleeper then. I wish I could sleep on a plane.

They should team up with Starbucks for the refreshment concessions and have LG sponsor video screens, Michelin could provide the tires, Motorola the communication radios and they could run political ads non-stop throughout the flight.

Plus pay toilets. The ac and reading light could be coin operated. If you slide your credit card through the slot on the armrest the stewardess will come and give you a lap dance.

However, the proper fare for a ticket has not been charged in 30 years..Just tellin' the truth.

Oh AND your a NASCAR fan as well! What a surprise....what a surprise. "Do you pray to the tiny baby Jesus?!" "Can 'yer boys do whatever they want 'cuz their winners?" I truly LOVE that movie. It captures NASCAR fans personas like you do flight crews.

Consider the source. He was probably turned down by one or his wife (or his boyfriend) left him for a pilot so now they are ALL nasty. I met Tommy Lee once. I was not impressed. Even his tatoos were misspelled, and his wife. She was a trip as well! Have you ever seen her without makeup? Rock musician hollywood trash....if they prohibit nasty attitudes rock musicians will, if sucessful, be on chartered planes, back on a bus or on a garbage truck where they belong.....

Marge! Is that you in your male-conservative persona doing another online case study?

Uh, it was a simile, but since you want to roll with the generalizations, that's fine.

Well maybe I just has a few bad experiences. I'm sure that most stewardesses are beautiful, young, non-over the top gay men that are courteous.

At least I'm pretty sure they will be in the near future...
