Flights Between New York And Miami Are Wretched

I don't think I could ever be a flight attendant. There are only so many times I could say "sir, I don't think that's gonna fit" before I chug a beer and pop the slide.

And that brings me to my flight on Thursday from New York JFK to Miami.

People seem to think that flights to/from Las Vegas are the toughest to work. And yes, having 11 people removed from a plane sucks. But I still don't think they have anything on flights between New York and Miami.

Why is the route so bad?
