She is afraid of flying. Trixie asks everyone around her for a xanax because she forgot hers. They all ignore her or look at her like she's crazy, never imagining that she has damn good reason for being fearful of transport in general. (Don't we all?) They ignore the pleas and the please of her husband, who is perhaps the most relaxed man on earth, and also a physician. They are in New York; they are middle-aged; they know everyone has a xanax. Then the airline people are like "seatbelts on, shut up." Trixie starts getting very very scared and anxious and talking a blue streak and the airline people threaten to stop the plane and all the passengers begin to throw xanax into her lap. She takes a pill, and then an extra, but they kick her off the plane anyway. Husband dutifully follows. Her kids are relieved, because it is so embarrassing for them anyway (teenagers). My cousin then has the best flight of her life - first class, no crowds, completely stoned.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077879580340640337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-44377925470317912192009-06-21T15:12:58.671-07:002009-06-21T15:12:58.671-07:00my additions:

Ho...Oh man, I am so flying Red Stapler Airlines. <br /><br />How about this: on designated flights, you can bring your dog on board with just a leash -- no carriers or sad air-freight crates required. Your dog can sit in your seat with you, or lay at your feet, or you can buy it the neighboring seat just like a kid. And there would be a special dog lavatory with, I don't know, a giant wee wee pad or some kind of self-cleaning lamppost/lawn in it.Lawyerishhttp://www.lawyerish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-78460637719199867822009-06-19T09:12:17.089-07:002009-06-19T09:12:17.089-07:00BEST

Each seat gets its own. With the Tampa Wal-Mart butt width test, there's room for double armrests for the seats. No more elbow wrestling.<br /><br />3. For the wee ones, they get their own flight attendant, and their own two or three rows. Mom and Dad get a break, the kids have a great time playing games and coloring with the flight attendant assigned to them, and none of the other passengers will feel annoyed at the mere sight of a child because they know they'll be entertained and relegated to one area. The families of the children would get to sit around the Kids Seating Area so they're on hand to sooth an upset child, and the rest of the passengers have a buffer between them. Hell, make it like first class even, with a curtain between that section an the 'regular cabin' people. Especially crochety anti-kid passengers (not talking your average childless person, but those special cases who make it sport to hate kids, and we've all seen one or two of them in our lifetimes) can request seats as far from the Kids Area as they can be when they're booking their tickets, ensuring that the parents and flight attendants don't have to put up with intolerable douchebags and the kids still get to be kids without continual shushing from worried parents.<br /><br />That sounds good to me!Andreahttp://conniptionknit.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-44245908475489375122009-06-19T06:46:12.180-07:002009-06-19T06:46:12.180-07:00I'd fly Suebob Lines anytime!

Not for ridiculously mundane things like going to the grocery store (unless handicapped or something) but wouldn't that be so much better than long flights after which you cannot feel your toes because the blood is gone below your knees?
