Good Old Days...

As much as I want to update my blog, this desire was inhibited by the absence of internet connection around my block. I am actually updating this a block away! But does it really matters anyway? And so I am updating my blog. Now back to the real thing...
I still remember when air travel was hassle-free. I had no worries since I know the air crews will try their best reach the destination on time. It was an era where punctuality is a crucial asset in the airlines' credibility. Now the time factor seemed to be negligible and sorry became cheap. No passion. No sincerity. Flight delays become a national crisis recently as the government begins to intervene into this issue due to the outcry from the people (the passengers or better suited as the rightful consumers) reaches the ears of the ministers and the parliment. I was victimized in this dilemma. But one must experience it first-hand before doing any justification. Yes, once they had announced the flight delay, I kept on bickering on my misfortune for having to wait for the aircraft's late arrival. All this while, I always point my finger to the airport authorities and the airline staffs for their failure. This view remained static until my 4.00pm flight to KB (that was slightly delayed too). The airplane halted its motion to the runway, we waited for about 10-15 minutes to give way for the busy air traffic of KLIA. Then it struck my insights of this problem. I noticed that all MAS fleets were given priority to clear the runway while the AirAsia fleets had to subdue to the directives from the control tower. I recalled that KLIA is a dual runway airport but the other had to be closed to give way for repair and maintainance. Having to handle dozens of flight in an hour really push the airport authorities to the limit as they try to make way for all fleet on their handicapped airport. The impact was inevitable. Flights were pushed to unprecedented delays as more plane began to taxi on the tarmac and some lining up for take-off. So back to square one. No one to blame to. In relation this (actually not related at all, a totally different issue altogether), AirAsia is acknowledged of having misplaced drag queens and aging hotties in their armada. But not today. I actually a hot one (more to cute looking actually) in my KL-KB flight. I was pleasently surprised. Not to sound perverted but this fact remains that AirAsia had some trump cards on its own and inflight hotties are included. To be frank, in years of my flying experience, she was the second good-looker air stewardess that I have seen so far. The first was from a not-so-distant past of 2005 on my Miri flight from Labuan aboard MAS. God have mercy!
p/s: Just in case you didn't notice, this air travel-dedicated post has evidently suggested that my holidays was put to an end and I am back to pit-hole KB (as if Labuan was not tormenting enough).
