Do you trust your airline pilots?

Pilots? Yes.

They know what is going on. They even will let you listen in as they do what they do. I have full trust in them.

Airlines? No.

One time I had an airline hold a reservation for tickets. They said we had until xyz date to confirm it. A day or so prior they changed their mind, let the tickets go, and they were grabbed up minutes later. Their reasoning? "Some other people wanted it". I have never flown with them again.

Another time I went to ask a guy about whether to declare goods before leaving the country. Before I asked my country, without looking up he said "The flight is not ready yet.". I then said that I have another question, in which he looked up stunned, and seemingly annoyed that I would ask him to do his job. I won't even go into the detail of the frustration of finding an answer to said issue let alone the process of going through with it.

And the fact they are cutting costs everywhere including fuel, food, television, and I swear I read even pillows and blankets just worries me even more as if they are cutting costs that much due to the cost of fuel (and STILL doing it despite the major dip in price of oil), how will this affect the safety of a flight.

Agents? No.

After the aforementioned experience with the airlines suddenly just giving up our tickets, we found another deal. This time I said immediately BUY THE TICKETS. The agent stalled until the next day, and the tickets went up and I had to pay the difference. I never got to say it but SCREW HIM/HER/IT.

Air Crew? Yes...

I really have no problem with the air crew. I have had many flights throughout several countries and they did their job. They never though got tested in a 'panic' situation but I am more than happy NOT to have that happen.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
