When they bring the passengers in wheelchairs into the terminal from the plane, they line them up in rows. It's like they're going to race. I kept waiting for one of the old ladies to say "eat my dust" and take off, but it didn't happen.
The number of people having "important" phone conversations was astonishing. "I'm at the airport", "I'm on the plane" ... do people really care? Boarding the plane, at least half of the passengers had phones stuck to their heads. Again, what could be that important? I'm glad I don't life their lives.
It's now known as a "water evacuation." They finally figured out 737s don't "land" in water. And we're only supposed to use the flotation devices when instructed to do so...
Standing at the gate, it's always fun to watch your bags get loaded. But the first baggage cart came and no Bagzilla! How could Bagzilla miss this trip?? I got a seat near the back (row 19) right over where they load the baggage. I look out the window... Bagzilla! Good girl! And for the record, this is the easiest big duffel to tote around. Evar.
Improvements to BOI are pretty nice. It doesn't feel like you're stepping into the '80s when you get there. In contrast, Oakland looks pretty beat down and tired. Some passengers from Idaho were trying to talk shit about OAK, saying how BOI is better now. But let's take a moment to look at 1) more passengers go through Oakland; 2) Boise was JUST remodeled; 3) Oakland is older. I'm not trying to stick up for Oakland by any stretch, just want to once again emphasize that people from Idaho need to get out more and understand that there is more to life beyond the land of potatoes.
