In Coach Class we now know we are Expendable
So if ever in a water landing, rush to the First Class exit!

1. Had the tail of the airliner not been submerged...
...many in Coach would've been on floating on the rear slide.

Cute graphic, but it's not quite truthful.;)

3. Expendable no - all were saved
And actually American's saving and not spending has helped ruin the economy - they noticed us!

5. Flying the no frills way is no bargain.
Someone recently posted on another GD thread this youtube clip from the Carol Burnett show. I just thought I would post it here in case anyone hasn't seen it. It is absolutely hilarious. And poor Tim Conway as a no frills flier was definitely in the expendable category.

6. What are you griping about?
Your seat cushion can be used as a floatation device. And your barf bag can be used as a parachute!

Seriously, it's just one example of the "Titanic" mentality that still persists in travel these days.

7. Well, to be fair ...
