airline they said they were sorry but there was nothing feat they could da But they did offer us a couple of first class upgrades for another trip I told them that it wasn’t worth very much because I never plan to fly wife them again Don’t you think they owe us something for all this inconvenience? — RN Chicago DEAR RN: Sony but white I sympathize and empathize — I have been involved in many many
