But it didn't blow up when it landed. Isn't it supposed to self destruct when it lands?

Sign me up. Here is an airline bucking the trend of poor customer service. I have made many transatlantic trips over the years and seen the airline treatment of passengers get worse and worse. I would be willing to trade time for comfort. In the past I have had to pay extra to be treated like a person.

14 seconds of audio cutting off when you would expect a response? Going back to sleep.

You know I don't mind playing the carry-on lottery. I go to the gate and wait. When they say the flight is full and would anyone like to check their carry-on. I am right there. I don't have to worry about finding an overhead or lugging it up and down the aisle. When I deplane the bag is usually waiting by the gate or after a fairly short wait. Hasn't failed me yet and I fly all over. It is a free checked bag and saves a lot of hassle for me.

I work in an ICU, OR and emergency room. I sincerely doubt you do not because first your employer would not tolerate it and second a bug would have got you by now. It not only protects you but also your patients. I had the misfortune of being a patient in an ER most of yesterday. I wore a mask the entire time except when being examined and staff always had on a shield and mask. A nurse told me they have not had one case of covid. Know why? They were being careful.

Monty, you need to read real science. There is ample data in this country and many more that masks work. If you don't want to wear as mask like the vast majority of people you are the one who should stay home. There is nothing unnatural about wearing protective equipment in this day and time so not sure what you are getting at.

I wouldn't trust it. Seen it too many times. You book a round trip, use half, the airline goes belly up and you are left trying to book a return flight. No thanks, I'll pay more.

After having worked as a covid screener and trainer most people are reluctant to challenge someone who appears to belong where they are. I have found people who are hired into these positions are hired on looks and personality and not for strength of presence. Employee is busy with a person and another just walks by. The screener sees it but is reluctant to pause what they are doing and asked the second person to wait. The person who wants to bypass realize this weekness in human character and with lots of self confidence strolls on by. I suspect it happens more than we realize.

In the late 60s or early 70s I hitched a ride on an A26 a day or so before an airshow at CAF HQ in Harlingen. It had been converted for executive use which resulted in a comfortable ride. Flown that day by Col. Hill out of San Antonio I believe. He liked to put it through its paces. Days before an airshow were good times to hitch rides. Lots of planes flying and lots of pilots willing to trade rides for labor wiping down planes. Not sure whatever happened to that plane.

I am sorry to be negative here but airlines need to remember passengers were not happy with them before this and taxpayer money kept them afloat and I am sure there won't be any repayment. With cramped seats and fees until you bled it is time for a passenger revolt. By the middle of next year all that will be back. They had completely forgotten customer service it is time for them to relearn it.
