Hey guys, this is the Highlander from the Titus podcast. This episode is brought you by Harry's

Razors and Liquid Ivy. And now here's Christopher Titus with the Armageddon Update. I'm Christopher

Titus. And this is the Armageddon Update. Plain travel, airlines, it's all gone to hell. We've had the biggest increase of men filled with cheese yelling at flight attendants since flying was invented. And I get it's tough to work out the bugs in air travel. It's only been 120 years. The last weekend, I had to fly to a gig. A two-flight day turned into a five-flight day.

Of the five flights I had to take, two were canceled, three were late, and then they finally sent me to a city.

I wasn't doing a show in. And then they sent my luggage to an entirely other city.

I made the show an hour late after driving at 105 miles per hour through a speed trap.

And I did that show in sweatpants and a comedy club t-shirt.

So like the real America, American Airlines believes they could shred your life,

charge too much, and do nothing for the money you pay them.

And then they expect you to just take it.

So American Airlines is exactly like America.

When did we become a country that just accepted the worst service? Whether it's automotive companies, I mean, hell Tesla is delivering

cars with defects and they're expecting you, eh, to just suck it up. And you'd think after Elon's

commitment to excellence, all the cars would be perfect because, look, he is.

Airlines don't get you where you paid them to get you. And then they lost earlier luggage,

and they just shrug. Sorry, maintenance issues. What, are you new to being an airline? So you don't

show up on time and you lose my stuff. And then I end up in the wrong city. I mean maybe the 12.3 million

Ed Bastion, the CEO of Delta made last year and the American CEO Robert Issa made $7.2 million

salaries. They weren't quite enough. Maybe they had to focus on their second job to make ends

meet. But the saddest thing people is we just take it. We accept that every time we get on a plane and pay a crap load of cash for a tiny seat on a tube full of human cattle,

that the service is going to suck and the plane is going to be late and your luggage will be lost

or look like it was delivered through a wood chipper.
