American Airlines

Probably won't hear about this on the news:
Plane flies five passengers from US to London

Not sure how I feel about that ... if I was one of those passengers who wanted to get home I wouldn't care if I was the only passenger on that freakin jet, just get me home.

And people wonder why it costs so much to fly...

They talked about that on the Pat White show. What they failed to understand is they needed that plane in London to fly back the passengers that were scheduled to be on that flight from London. Plus planes dead head all the time to maintenance facilities, etc. Remember last summer when Jet Blue had to stop carrying passengers for one day to fly all the planes (empty) to the correct airport due to all the diverted flights from storms.

then...just when the nortwest takeover of southwest is big news...southwest is busted and mega-fined for flying known unsafe planes!! must be the end times!!
