Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 28, 2015

What no In-flight movie? There’s the problem.

Just wait until he has to deal with the brawls that ensue after someone decides to recline.

Don’t want there phones in “airplane mode”.

Ooh, he’s missing the best part!The TSA scanners!

Bob is also missing the element of the thin aisles that keep you trapped in by the dinner cart.

Why is it losers in the comics are always named Bob?

After dinner, do diners ring up a tab or charge it on their Skychef card?

This has already been done in Sydney (Australia) in (I think) the mid 1970’s. A small bar was set up in the Hunter Arcade running from Wynyard rail station, under George Street to Hunter Street. The bar, called the 747 Bar, was set up like the interior of an airliner complete with aircraft style seats and the entry door was a replica of an aircraft’s door. Although the bar is now closed, unlike Bob’s effort, it seemed to do quite well.There is a brief reference to it in this article from 2007.

Ha! ;-)

He’s forgetting that people love the places they go, not the necessary airplane travel they need to get there.

That’s only in 1st Class.

Gee wiz, he was a success; they all flew out. Even hazards in trying too hard.

maybe it’d be more popular if he pitched it as “every seat is 1st class”!

There was a restaurant locally that did this kind of thing probably 30 years ago. I think it lasted about a week. I only know about it because my brother was a waiter there. For about a week.

So many trolley cars were turned into diners, so someone in Arizona should use one of the surplus airplanes for a restaurant.

Bob thought his would be s sure fire success after his last venture.“The Trireme Diner”

If I were ever to fly again, it will be in the baggage hold in the form of ashes in a KFC barrel. In my 8 year military career, the ground had SO much attraction for my particular aircraft that I often vowed “If I survive THIS $%^& mess, I ain’t flying AGAIN!” I had to say that six times before I quit and kept my wheels on the ground !! In the meantime, my cousin spent 32 years as a flight engineer on just about anything that flew and only suffered one “pucker moment.” Bah and humbug.

In Colorado Springs, we have a restaurant with a room in a KC-97. That was an Air Force tanker in the old days.

typo: yes, “their” not “there”, folks.

Unca Jim: old home week! I also went down six times with assistance from ground fire, and a couple times when aircraft just decided they were apparently bored with staying in the air, autorotation is an interesting and life-saving alternative to parachutes?? (You do NOT want to bail out of a helicopter that’s going down!)

That said, I got out and still flew in aerobatic aircraft, hang gliders, and parasails, lotsa fun. It’s riding in those flying commercial culverts that make me nervous, especially after numerous “run ins” with idiots working for TSA.

" “There” or their?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please, don’t waste your time and effort. It’s not going to matter to people who don’t care.

A ‘travel theme’ emphasizes the destination (like a beautiful beach , or scenic mountains, ski slopes, etcetera.) Emphasizing the misery that a traveler now has to contend with in order to get to the destination isn’t a ‘travel theme’. It’s a ‘nightmare theme’…

Don’t use the bathroom, you could be arrested!

Maybe it’s the security screening before you can get into the place?

Maybe it’s because you only have one bathroom and it’s two feet square?
