Travelling to Waco

If you didn't know, I am on an interview at Baylor University for a lecturership position. I'll go into that later.

Right now, I need to say something about airlines. Yesterday, I was on a plane to Waco, TX from San Jose, CA. First off, where are the meals/snacks. I've been seeing this more and more, cut the price of my ticket, then start charging me for the food. Come on airlines. Secondly, I was stuck in the Dallas airport for about 3 hours waiting for a flight attendant to show up. The first flight was no issue. In fact, we arrived 30 minutes earlier to Dallas, and then sat on the tarmac for about 25 minutes of it. When we arrive, I shot out of the plane and hurriedly walked to my next gate (across and entire terminal). Once arrived, I see that we should be beginning boarding. The flight should be taking off and while sitting in the waiting area, it is announced that we are waiting for the flight attendant. The flight should be 15-20 minutes delayed..... About two and a half hours later, we finally get off the ground. Airlines, please let us know what's going on. Too many people were looking for information and were getting brushed off at the ticket counter.

Enough of griping.
