to GRS:

Was IB even worse than AOM, wow! I forgot to mention EX in my list, used to fly so many times on LRM PUJ, HEX PUJ, HEX POP. I used IB when they've had DC10, damn it was horrible. Crew like 60 years old, plane was so old, it was bad, in my case APA Dominicana was worse. I used it 2 times, it was like carro publico from Duarte.

I travel to Europe 4-5 times a year, I've got ike 15-20 flights per trip, a lot of european routes. European carriers are much better than american ones. I always prefer BA, even if I have to make a connection, BA is great, such a spiritual airline. It is a pity that we don;t have them here.

I know that AOM is worse, but I only flew it once and the flight was excellent (I got upgraded to F). Actually, now that I remember my worst experience has been on DL from MCO-BOS on Delta Express. It was very uncomfortable and I was delayed about 3 hours due to mechanical malfunction. My other bad excperiences have been flying on non rev, so I cannot really complaint.
