I’ve been flying quite a bit this year on United, and can’t say I’ve been that happy. United’s been going through a bunch of changes as part of the Continental merger. Despite that, I’ve had a few instances (including a 5-hour 2 plane delay)….
Thanks to Charlie for pointing this out today, since Facebook and I still don’t get along. United is teasing the date of their 787 delivery, saying they will be live streaming it (assumedly on their website). Still my favorite plane of all time after…
Some of this is not necessarily new info, but AA has now organized a bunch of it on their website. The 777 announcements were made back during the oneworld MegaDo in January, but the Airbus info is new. The A321 that flies transcon (NYC-LAX/SFO,…

Definitely a bit of a surprise to me. WSJ is reporting that AMR (parent of American Airlines) will look at merger and investment opportunities in the next few weeks. It’s even more surprising considering AA won the right last week to continue to control…
Boeing or Airbus? Well, maybe it’s because Boeing is an American company, but I like to think it’s because they build better planes. And, there’s a reason some call the other guys “Scarebus”. Anyway, Boeing and Airbus always try to make annoucements around the…
I know. Fascinating stuff. For the few that may actually be interested…. Traveling through DFW today and I saw these new signs being assembled at one of the gates. The one thing I thought that looked like a good change was the notation of…
