American & US Air - FAA Redefines Terminology

As part of the post-merger, less competitive US airline market, the FAA has redefined some common industry terms:
  • Economy class : Conditions under which transport of animals would constitute a criminal offense.
  • Passenger: Cargo that talks - See "Self-loading freight."
  • Baggage Claim Area: See "Bermuda Triangle."
  • Merged Frequent-flyer Program: See "Pandora's box."
  • On Time Arrival: Obscure term, meaning unknown.
  • On Time Departure: Cabin doors closed within 15 minutes of scheduled departure. Subsequent delays irrelevant.
  • Legroom: Small space which shrinks during flight and into which an amputee dwarf would have difficulty fitting his non existent legs.

This one is so true that it's not even funny.

This is the way the airlines beat the system by screwing the public.

It should be a capital offense.
