A In-Flight Review
I'm not a very patient person and do not take to major changes made to the ordered schedual I maintain.
So when I learned of the consolidation of the many Air Carriers servicing I was very aprehesive. Consolidation in my view means a cut in service.
Well I was pleasently suprised on my most recent flight with the "NEW" Caldari Airlines.
I experience no change in the making and comfirming of reservations in fact the range of flight options had inceased. Baggage handling showed a distinct improvement a single source elimintaed the risk of improper "Tagging". This also was true for check-in procedures. However, at the time I checked in there were longer lines and many check in windows were not opened.
The security checks were standard, through and effcient. Though the Armed Giard were a bit disconserting, yet provided a sense of safety.
The wait and boarding was about the same. With the one exception that it was the frist time my flight was not delayed. In fact the entire schedual board showed ON TIME Flights.
In flight the service above average, the attendent were there ready to assist and serve. The meal was typical Airline food, but it did arrive hot.
Over all I was impressed by Caldari Airlines, there are a few things which need to be worked out such as Check-In. But that is a minor issue.
I would rate my experience 32 of 40.
