What is more annoying than being charged $2 for water on a plane ride?

Facing pesky flight attendants trying to push you to buy – a few times during the cross-country flight.

It is bad enough that they no longer have the courtesy to offer you water, let alone any other food or drinks.  But to resort to high-pressure sales?

Is it possible US Air was dumb enough to provide incentives for the crew to push you to buy their stale sandwiches and plastic bottles of water – and movie headsets?

That is the only explanation I can gather for such annoying behavior, capped off by endless boisterous plugs about their food offerings to a captive audience.  At least six times their loudspeakers were used to hawk their food and beverages, in addition to Ads on the tv screens.

Such bad taste.

Don’t fly this airline.
