I knew United sucks.

Southwest was supposed to be better than average.

Guess not.

Three hours before the flight on my outbound leg of the trip...flight cancelled, with no explanation.

Hour and half before the flight on my return leg...flight cancelled for some "operational" thing. Not a tinge of regret, nor remorse from reservations agent.

Once, I can accept. Twice, on the same trip, that's BS. The weather is good, and these are frequent commuter-type flights.

Won't bother with a fracking airline that doesn't adhere to their schedules for no good reason.

I've taken them only once before. This will be the last time.

It occurs to me that this post could really use the eustacetilley treatment
"did I ever tell you about the time..."

We wanted cheap fares.
We wanted deregulation.

We got what we asked for.

Judging by their flight status page, these aren't isolated incidents for the flights in question.

The outbound flight that was cancelled on my original departure date was also cancelled today.

Like I said, I can overlook an isolated incident, but not two on the same trip. There seems to be a pattern here.

Agreed! We may have to wait but at least we can actually afford to take a plane. Awfully hard on the bus companies, though.

Oh absolutely.

Jimmy saw a monopoly and acted.

Prior to deregulation, ordinary swinging dicks could not afford air travel.

Swinging dicks and meatsacks, oh my.
