I worked for a major airline, some years back. We trained for 10 weeks. Six weeks into training we were given flight privileges allowing us to travel anywhere in the world. I looked at Russia, Africa and South America. The only other trainee I respected had eyes set on Northern Europe.
Approximately 12 of the remaining 24 students had no plans beyond going as a group to The Price is Right. 10 others could imagine nothing greater than The Mall of America. How utterly pathetic. The Mall of America is an even more vile example of consumerism than the corporatization of Times Square.
What a shame it's in an otherwise cool State like Minnesota.
Pros: a.k.a., corporate, wenches
Cons: soulless, vacuous, tripe
