Now that my daughter has arrived, I’m taking this week off. I’m happy to start the guest post parade with a visit from one of my favorite guest-posters, Delta’s Archives Manager Marie Force. Marie wrote about Delta’s history in Monroe back in 2009. Delta also sent over a great post …

Over the last week or so, we’ve seen announcements from just about everyone in the new American/US Airways leadership team talking about who will report directly to each of them. While the initial leadership team was primarily made up of US Airways folks, the split is now much more even …

Way back in 2010, JetBlue rolled out a bunch of snack boxes, and I was less than impressed. JetBlue is an airline that should be able to do better than just a run of the mill snack box.
Well, this Tuesday JetBlue began a 3 route test (JFK – …
Allegiant’s start of service in Hawai’i has been anything but smooth sailing. There have been repeated operational issues with the airline’s 757s and that has left some very unhappy travelers stranded. But that issue is a side note compared to the bigger question of whether Allegiant’s model would even work …
Small airports have lost a lot of service over the last several years, and a new rule by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now very likely going to make things even worse. The new rule will dramatically increase the number of hours required for pilots to be able to …
