Red or White Wine?

Everybody's favorite Guardian architecture critic Jonathan Glancey shares his wisdom and gripes about flying and the new Airbus A380 in an old KCRW DnA show. Skip ahead to 21:46 to hear my favorite part:
I find the idea of sitting on any big aircraft absolute misery. You're crammed in. You're squeezed in. You have the sky nannies coming along and bullying you:

(In high voice)"Chicken or fish? Red or white wine? And keep the seat in the upright position."

Always being bullied and having a horrible time.
And that, of course, truly is the future of flight:
Having a horrible time for as short a time as possible.
