Why I own a MH continued

Reason 101? :h

An apparent "technical issue" with a baggage system at Miami International kept AA from loading any of its flights with checked luggage for about eight hours on Friday. During that time, the IBT writes "the airline let its flights depart sans bags, but did not notify passengers of the issue. Instead, most passengers discovered when they reached their destinations that their luggage hadn't."

Unreal

Well, I don't own a MH but I bought my 5er for basically the same reason. As a truck driver I use to enjoy flying when on vacation. Have fond memories of flying as a youngster with my grandmother. Use to fly to St Louis so often the flight attendants knew my name and my drink. Since 9-11 I dread the airport. Flew once after 9-11 and after that mess, I won't fly again. I'm a large person so I bought a 2nd ticket so I'd not be jammed against the person next to me. That caused a stink although some airlines require it. Then on the return flight I got bumped to a 2nd carrier which made me a "one-way with no baggage" (carry on only) which earned me a pat down and extra screening. Now understand, I have a NSA security background check for Haz-Mat on my CDL. I have a NAS background check for firearms and I've had security clearances when I was in nuclear power and the military, but none of that mattered cause the airline created a situation that I had a one-way ticket.

Nope, the airlines screwed up and can't understand why they are going broke.

Not to get to political, but if they had taken the shoe bomber off the airplane out to a vacant spot at the airport and shot him, I probably wouldn't have had to take my shoes off when I flew.

...and you don't have to take your shoes off while flying within China!

My last 10 or so flights have been on a private jet and I would hate to have to go back to commercial.

I'll take the motor home anyday before I have to fly. It is a much better way to see the USA.

I would use a large carry on bag when flying (I travel light) it goes on and off the plane with me! No waiting for suitcases for me.

We were done with flying after 9-11... Nothing like an RV trip anyway. Sit back, take in views, visit funky places, visit local culture, learn about all kinds of history.... Awesomeness.

I hate flying. I flew all over the world during my AF career and if something bad is going to happen it usually happens to me. My luggage has been lost numerous time. Items were stolen out of my luggage (thanks TSA). I was caught up in a 2 hour security check and missed my plane. My plane was diverted and I spent 24 hours in St Louis Airport once. My plane was delayed because of a blizzard and I spent 24 hours at O'Hare once. The first plane I ever flew on had a major mechanical malfunction and had to return to O'Hare. The first Helicopter I ever flew on crashed. I was in line to take off from Charlotte when the plane in front of us crashed next to the runway. I was travelling for work when 9/11 happened and had to rent a car in California and drive to Florida.

In addition, I have 5 dogs and if I have to evacuate for a hurricane I need somewhere for them to stay.

That's why I own an RV.

Customer service at it's finest!

Problems with the bags I can understand, but NOT telling the passengers is poor, poor, poor service.
