Yet, would not be surprising since the average airline employee now is being thrown against the wall by their own employers who feel they are not the money they make. Concidering that crew members have to be the ones to give "face" for the company's mishandled service and cut backs that have affected the quality of the airlines business as opposed to what it used to be. But bottom line is.. airlines are not charging enough to compensate for the operating expenses and are offering their product for peanuts, If not for free, in most cases. Even mighty JetBlue has learned it's lesson by posting their first loss ever and their CEO is already commited to raising fares to compensate... We'll see what airlines will follow suit after JetBlue's lead.. But I reckon not too many since the CEO's choose to be competitive regardless of the economic situation in the business now a days... However, fuel cost (not crew or labor costs) are the main issue that we face right now. The airlines must charge enough to cover this basic expense of operations...reason why many are so frustrated about pay and benefit cuts. It's the little people always being made to suffer and carry the brunt of their CEO's mistakes. I would prefer not to go any more into this issue since I do not want to turn this topic into a personal matter here and you know how I feel about that SuperDry... Thank you.

The stand by line was 30 mins, and at 2:45pm... FPs were still available for the 4:05-5pm hour. Got an FP and went on to enjoy other rides since most everything was posting a 5 mins stand by wait. Great afternoon to experience the park.. weather was cool and the park was neatly maintained and cleaned. As for EE... it's almost like business as usual. Those of you visiting in the coming days should be able to ride this as it appears to be opened pretty much on a continuous way all day long. We rode at 4:15pm and didn't noticed anything new in regards to the show or themeing, but the ride went down again at about 4:30pm... However, Now that the construction walls are gone.. the whole area looks finished and quite nice. that was your update for now...

Somewhere there has to be something you don't like at WDW, and heck, maybe I do....doesn't make either one of us right. If you are only looking to post where everyone jumps on the bandwagon, I don't think that site exists anywhere...and you have been around here long enough to understand all that goes on...so I am not sure why the martyr card being played. It is not the first time someone disagreed with you, and sure as heck you know there are those who disagree with things I say. but do not stop posting because I or anyone else disagrees with you. This would be one boring site if we all agreed on absolutely everything wouldn't it ? and TDLFAN: -- I couldn't agree with you more -- as someone who has flown a lot in my career, the slide in airline service began when the airlines started flying full planes, that because of the low rates couldn't cover the cost of the fuel and employees to make the runs. Then if planes aren't full- yikes ! Everyone likes low fares until they get lousy service, then they complain. Being from Chicago I appreciated the cut above service United used to provide for a domestic carrier ( also remember when Delta was awfully good 20 years ago) - but the low cost carriers forced most companies to become the same...and not for the better. just IMHO -- The auto industry learning the same thing right now -- you can't sell a Ford or Chevy for less money than it costs you to make it, or lease it for ridiculously low sums and with residual values the car can't possibly maintain and not see the brink of bankruptcy coming..... Any industry can throw gimmicks out short term to win market share-- but if it continues and becomes industry wide -- we see what we have today....
