Without knowing exactly what transpired, I usually always side with the aircrew, because they're mostly just trying to do their job and whenever there's an issues it usually always has to do with intolerant customers (coming from an ultra frequent flyer) and no the crew trying to create a problem, because their job is

With hair samples, drugs are actually detectable much, much longer than 2 to 4 days... Not sure what test methods the FIA are using!!!

A completely nutty indoor exhibit area btw... I felt like I was in a 1980's Roman Polanski Spy movie, walking around among Russian Generals, Israeli fighter pilots and American spies (I'm pretty sure I saw at least one that fitted the bill).

Saw a model of the plane at the Farnborough Airshow 4 or 5 years ago...

Most pilots prefer to call it the ramp these days... I concur on the concrete assessment!

How can you call something with a Ford engine Puritalia???

I saw an interview with her and saw no remorse whatsoever!!! Just self pity...

Just got off an AA 777-200 a couple of hours ago (DFW - FRA). Comparing the 200 to the new 777-300ER, is like comparing a Chevy Cruise to a Mercedes E-Class. They're old and it shows! Didn't see any overhead bins pop open, but it was a pretty smooth ride.

My dad had a red 325ix... I remember I thought it was the coolest car in the world. Well that and the MR2 and the Countach!

O'Leary proclaimed that they would offer porn on the flights with in-seat entertainment systems... Southwest should consider that, as well as 2 dancing poles in the isle. At least on the 5 PM Friday flights from San Diego to Las Vegas AKA The Stripper Express!

To get status on segments is one tough way to do it... I'm pretty lucky, I do 5 - 6 trips to Europe a year and 2 - 3 to Hong Kong and with that I'm pretty much already Executive Platinum, so I don't need to rely as much on the domestic flights to maintain status.

Home port is SAN and domestic trips usually going to DFW, XNA, JFK, MSP, MIA or SFO. I prefer International flights through DFW and they usually go to LHR, HKG, FRA or DUS.

Kitty is good, so is Fanny (which remind me that Fanny-ary is coming up... the female equivalent of Movember).

For a couple of years now, I have flown exclusively on American when possible. It is a transformed airline from just 5 years ago!

Exactly, because of the preventative measures taken!

I already have a collection of magic anti-terror rocks. I got them half off on Ebay and although I have no proof that they actually work, I have completed 92,000 miles of flights this year alone without a terrorist incident. I have to mention that bringing them in my carry on always requires extra time spent with the

Well let me provide you with some facts then. From 1966 up until 1989 there were 2 or more terror attacks on commercial airplanes every year. Between 1989 and 9/11 there was 7 more. On 9/11 almost 3,300 people perished in an act of terrorism involving 4 commercial aircrafts. Since the we have had the shoe and the

Kinja is screwing with me...
