By the way – your seat won’t have a window. Or be on an aisle. And there will be screaming babies on either side of you. For the next 10,000 years. Enjoy your trip. Muah-ha-ha-hahaha!
Except that wouldn’t those who served faithfully get their reward as well? Recall that episode of Night Gallery with John Astin as a new comer to Hell and is shown his room which he hates greatly since there is non of the attributes of Hell he was expecting. He is told at the end that his is a special room since there is an exact on “up there” too.
Started flying back in the early 70s, prior to deregulation of the airlines, while in the Navy. It was much more pleasant back then, but you must remember, it was much more expensive. The public demands low prices, so don’t be surprised on the quality of what the ride is like. I bet the prices will rise a little to make up for the money lost on empty seats when people miss the flight.
The whole idea of Hell seems to me to be an affront to any Creator who might exist. Condemming someone to an ETERNITY of senseless pain simply, for example not believing in said Creator, is stupid and insulting. There is no person, alive or dead, that should be condemmed to such punishment. We need to exorcise the puritans from our thinking.
United’s CEO has already experienced hell. He’s been denied a promotion and the event might even shave a million or two off his bonus. No wonder why he says he’s sorry.
Hell is a Christian creation with no Biblical substantiation. The New Testament only says that sinners will die and the faithful will be given eternal life: http://biblelight.net/hell.htm Even the Jews don’t believe in it because all our Bible says is that Lucifer and his army were cast down to Earth, no mention of Hell which is a Greek creation. Those angels who laid with humans and created the Nephilim offspring were cast into a cave on Earth in chains for eternity. Still no Hell. So if religion is real then wouldn’t Hell be on Earth? Feels like it sometimes. I guess we’ll find out when tRump gets his war.
Actually, being kicked “upstairs” would be Purgatory! Where you wait indefinitely for the world to end, so THEN you can be judged! And when I grew up, you could STILL shave time off your sentence by doing the prescribed “penance!”

Oh, not just airline CEOs by a long shot! Even Bill O’Reilly might get kicked upstairs?

Last trip we paid extra for a bulkhead seat. “Bulkhead” was a curtain 6 inches from my knees!
