Assume you mean rec.travel.air--I still check out the idiots and occasional intelligent poster over there from time to time.
You'll like this: There was a guy on there the other day whining about the HORRIBLE HP experience he had. Seemed his biggest complaint was that at LAX he "almost missed his flight" because they had the NERVE to change his departure gate from 13 to 9.
If you know T-1 at LAX (I'm sure you do), you'll realize that gates 9, 11, and 13 are all in the same departure area and are separated by, what, 30 or 40 feet?
