That British Airways 777 that got charred is returning to the air.  I thought it wouldn’t fly again.  Guessing that saved British Airways’ insurance company quite a bit of cash.

Ever wonder why some people get great targeted credit card offers and you don’t?  Here’s some tips that might help you get there.
