Again a plane had to be diverted and land to get an upset passenger off that was not able to handle it anymore.

Air liners claim to make the spaces even smaller and sitting on a plane to Europe for hours with the smaller spaces is almost unbearable for many people.

Getting pain in your legs, back, etc. and dealing with screaming kids or people who are obsessed and body parts hanging over your already tiny space is not very nice for the prices you have to pay to travel.

That is aside from the bad smells you often have to deal with since people are now more on top of each other.

Why are the spaces going to be even smaller since it seems the air line employees will have to deal with more passengers who will loose it!

Where is the end?

The fun is gone for years thanks to some terrorists and sooner than later we will all be strapped in some mental hospital gear to stay or sit and not act out of order since how long are we able to take less and less and less for more money!

Many planes already look like they are falling apart and many times I was on a plane to Europe and either the ear phone outlet wasn't working or the chair was broken or dirty.

So, do what I do. Stay far away from airplanes!
During my working life, I worked in an airplane factory, and I held an A&P license. I know how they are built, and how they are maintained.
If I can't drive there, or take a bus or train, or a boat, I just ain't going!

Private company. Do you want to make government regulations to solve the issue?

Heh, I have an ATP and a PA-31T and I avoid those flying cattle cars with bad food and equally bad service and those who get hired to molest people.

I'd say that people who shell out thousands of dollars an hour to fly on private jets are more foolish, but to each his own.
