I agree. I try and avoid dfw at all costs. I fly out of love field as much as I can.

To the responder of the OP, but not today

the trick to traveling with olds, is put one in a wheel chair. Did this with my MIL last month. We were escorted through like rock stars.

TSA Precheck is the only way to go. No removing laptop, no taking off your shoes, very rare to get a full body screen, and most people who have it travel a lot so they know what they’re doing.

But I like getting patted down. It is the most action I've gotten in months.

I really didn't think the youngsters were coherent to anything going on around them, with their eyes glued to their phones and their ear buds on. And I have never seen an old dressed in pajama pants carrying their emotional support animal in public.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Olds are the worst. I hate them so much. (Except Trebor, and 1 of the Bob’s)

Phil Hartman played an OCD chef on SNL.

Note: This is all in fun.. I like some yudes..

Why are you blaming the olds because you got hammered the night before and couldn't get out of bed on time and were running late..


I bet the olds were there in plenty of time for their flight.. Cause olds are always on time.. And they probably had Velcro flaps on their shoes so they could get em on and off faster..

I love being on the plane.. Watching some youdh coming down the isle with all of his or her worldly possessions in his cargo pants, a fanny pack, an over the shoulder bag, a purse that holds more than my refrigerator, and a quote, unquote "carry on" that would give a baggage handler a hernia..

With a ripped up AC/DC T shirt that has never been washed.. And if that [censored] knows the words to Riff Raff I'll kiss your [censored].


Of course the youdh has his earbuds or Dr. Dre headphones on and cranked and is oblivious to the world around him/her..

And of course it takes him/her ten minutes to decipher the ABC DEF seat assignment.. Then he/her has to walk back towards the front of the plane and back and forth trying to find a compartment that will hold his U-haul..

And whacks three old blue hairs in the head with his shoulder bag while trying to stow said life accumulations..


Don't get me started on youtes with three screamin ill mannered brats..

There is a reason why first class sells out.. Get your young arss in the back of the plane!!

I remember. Stapling little paper bags closed.

It's all about playing with the govt reporting. 'On time arrival' stats are based on the time the wheels get on the ground, not what time you get to the gate. All airlines, with approval for most airports, will regularly land a plane and have them taxi or park until a gate comes open.
On the other end it's 'push back time' the time the plane backs away from the gate, not actual take off time that gets reported. So they push back on time even though they know you will park on the tarmac for a while before takeoff.

Thank you for posting that, Its what i wanted to say but I could not use those nice fancy words.

Wife and me travel some since we are olds. Just got back from Alaska, Not many yunguns go there could be cause they have no money to enjoy as some of us Olds do. .
On the plane to Anchorage we sat up front away from those teenagers or mullinums as some are called. . Nice quite good food and drink. and we were first off the plane.
