I reported yesterday that the pilots union had rejected American Airlines offer. And then, later yesterday, View From the Wing reported that the mechanics and store clerks had agreed to new contracts. That just leaves the flight attendants who conclude voting on their new…
WSJ is reporting that the pilots union at American Airlines has rejected the airline’s latest offer. IMO, this was a better offer than the pilots are likely to get if a bankruptcy judge voids their contracts. I also think it’s a virtual certainty the…
A little over a year ago I was involved in starting up a community for frequent travelers. It’s a labor of love for me, since I spend a decent amount of time helping family and friends get more out of their travel. Milepoint is…

I’ve been lucky enough to have Hertz Platinum status for the last few years and I definitely enjoy it more than just making a regular rental. Other people I know swear by other rental companies, such as National’s Emerald Club. Though I haven’t tried…
I don’t want to sound like a broken record with stories of my United Airlines annoyances, but this one gave me a good chuckle in the end. I had a flight earlier in the week where I missed an upgrade but still ended up…
