US AIRWAYS. WHISPERING VOICES...


US AIRWAYS PLANES
The sky is borderless, but planes create the illusion they can make it anyway.

However, when fed up  with crisscrossing the huge blue, some of them long for relaxation and rest, they land in places where they can forget about runaway, signs and tower instructions. It’s no longer time to head for the sky and close by or far away destinations.  A plane has a life time on its own .Unfortunately, we do not think enough about.

US Airways magazine once want to know what travelers think of their flight, the crew team and the way they feel travelling aboard. Good question even for those who continue to be scared of wandering among clouds. Human beings are not angels, alas !

Boarding a jet is a process we begin to become familiar with. Obviously, pretty fly attendant welcomes you with smiling and prevenances. Customer feels at home and many end up in good relationships with hostesses.  Imagine. They make you comfortable, nodding to everything you want, whether your luggage or more room to stretch your legs.  If it happens you need something like a pillow or a cup of water, never mind. Name it and you get it. At least, your stress toward flying is lowering a little bit.

But, because between Miami and NY, US Airways lands for a couple of hours at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, you could know more about this airline life. At the beginning, I was leaning to believe North Carolina was home to this 80 –year old air line. For some reasons, there always is a fleet with this American flag logo painted in the big tail.  Why are there so many US Airways planes on the ground? Is North Carolina really home to the air line company?  No doubt.  Any traveler could confirm himself by glancing at the large windows while heading for his  gate.

Whatever it might be, like many others air lines, US airways has realized the miracle to recreate a king of family gathering impression at thousands feet in the sky. With a Sky Mall magazine, you can buy while running into so many earthy goods displayed through the pages. Even there, good life feeling endures. Hand crafted wood items, jewelry, fitness locations... nothing has really changed since you’ve left the earth. Did you need to travel to become so homesick about life below?

This is one of these things that matter to me. While traveling at so much speed, US Airways don’t let you feel confused about distances and locations. Travel has changed a lot in the 20th  century to become one of those banalities we owe to techniques and good service. As fly attendant feel at ease, why do you have to worry about anything? There lies the power of a smiling hostess.

So, besides a nostalgic touch at Charlotte Douglas airport attached to the American South, and Black ladies still dressed in the old fashion way, NC seems to be the very home of the US Airways air line. Again this huge fleet of planes is at a glance relaxing after having cruised so much in the sky. Nothing on earth can prevail to witness more landscapes, more sight view than a plane. Lining up along their hangar and these glass buildings that characterize airport life, US Airways planes are ready to whisper to each other what they’ve  endured while flying, the stories they’ve  heard about, the  situations they’ve gone through and finally what relaxing time mean to them, now that ungrateful  travelers are already home.

Planes also hold to their privacy..
