"@TheConnorCain A pilot can use autopilot to land a plane but airlines encourage them to land manually to keep their flying skills sharp. Relying on #VAR constantly has caused referees to lose whatever skills they had. #FlightAttendantMethaphor"

""WOW okay so the most amazing thing just happened to me and I cant help but share it with the world. American Airlines instituted a new policy where you have to pay to take a carry-on onto the plane. Which is ridiculous but off topic. I consolidate my bags into one and they measure it and say its just a little too big. They proceed to charge me $50 except they only take credit card no cash. Since I just got back from Europe all my cards are being declined as Chase doesnt know Im back. They tell me that Im going to have to miss the flight and head back to the ticket counter to pay down there."
