Flying domestic in the US

It never ceases to amaze me how much more difficult it is to fly domestic inside the US compared to intercontinental flights. When I first started to fly domestic in the US, I loved not needing a passport and various visa documentation to get back in. Now, I’d much rather deal with that than fly domestic. I want my A300s and 777s that get priority for landing and takeoff. I want flights that arrive on time or early, even if they leave an hour late. I want some courtesy and some responsibility for delays and problems. Obviously, I’m asking too much. Even though some major airports operate with large amounts of snow during large parts of the year, American Airlines can’t get their crews to their flights because of “weather”. I have no sympathy. That is part of the challenge of running a large business, and that is part of why managers get paid so much: to figure out how to meet expectations even when things go wrong. If you’re not up to the challenge, don’t take it, or figure out how to be up to it.
