I'll never understand why they don't discover problems until the plane is boarded. Do they not bother to check the plane beforehand? Is it news to them that a flight is scheduled to take off at a particular time? Or, equally maddening, why they go ahead and board when they're aware of problems that'll delay take off? <BR/><BR/>Every, and I do mean every, time I travel by plane, the mantra "There has to be a better way" drones on an endless loop in my head. There has to be a better way! Why do we persist with a system that more than half the time provides a deeply unpleasant experience and fails to turn a decent profit (are ANY major carriers doing well financially)?
