I’m already composing my letter of complaint, and I don’t leave till this Sunday <VBG> Actually, I think the complaint will be about my return trip the following Saturday. Stephan Laengerer "The world is a book. Those who do not travel, read only one page".

Usually on the "evidence" of such heart-rendering posts as: — This is a copy of a letter I mailed to the offices of ____ Airlines: To: [CEO of Airline] I was on ___ flight 3.14 and I peed on myself and the FA didn’t bother to have my favorite brand of underwear, and despite my asking repeatedly, all the FAs started to avoid me. Such lack of service is unwarranted, and I want you to know I’ll tell the *whole Internet* and you’ll go out of business. Signed, C. Complainer —

May I suggest that for week 1, we RECOMMEND an airline VERY STRONGLY and put all others airlines in the list to avoid at all costs. Then the next week, so many people will be flying that one airline that it will be overwhelmed and bound to make a lot of passengers very unhappy which will reesult in that airline making it to the top of the "Airlines to avoid" list. I would also suggest that airlines be recommended and then strongly boycotted in alphabetical order based on their code. So,: week 1: AA strongly recommended week 2: AC strongly recommended, AA strongly boycotted week 3: BA strongly recommended, AC strongly boycotted week 4: etc etc etc etc etc This way, all airlines will be treated equally. Perhaps some airlines will fair better during those heavy traffic weeks whene everyone flies with them. Some might be smart enough to see it coming and prepare for that bad week!!!!! .-)

http://www.princeton.edu/~cbstone Sir: I follow with interest your "Airlines to Boycott This Week" information. Why do airlines drop off the list at the end of each week automatically? Why not drop them off at the end of two, or three weeks? In fact, why not just keep the list running until we are down to one airline…and then hope we can get that airline boycotted too.
